Draping an Image on a Mesh

You can drape images on any mesh in the Meshes folder. To do this, right-click on the mesh in the Meshes folder and select one of the Drape Image options.

  • For the Import Image option, you will be prompted for a file location. Navigate to the folder containing the image you wish to drape, select the file and click Open. Set georeferencing information for the image, if required, then click OK. See Importing a Map or Image for more information on georeferencing images. The imported image will appear in the project tree under the mesh.
  • For the Select Existing Image option, select from the images available in the project and click OK. A hyperlink to the image will appear in the project tree under the mesh.

You can drape as many images as required. When the mesh is displayed in the scene, you will be able to select any draped images from the list of display options.

When you import and georeference an image, you can then export it as a GeoTIFF. To do this, right-click on it in the project tree and select Export. You will be prompted for a filename and location. Click Save.
