Place a Custom Bitmap

3DVIZ: Select File > Import Custom Bitmap.

Bitmap

Sets the specific name and location of the bitmap file.  Selecting the "Browse" button opens the Windows Explorer.  Note that the 3DViz module will only keep a link to the image, rather than importing into the project.  As such, the image file needs to remain accessible.

Opacity

Sets the opacity/transparency of the image file.  Setting this entry to 1 will make the image completely opaque, or to 0.1 will make the image mostly transparent.

Bitmap Place At

Sets the location of the image file.  This includes the front plane (south), back plane (north), right plane (east), left plane (west), top plane, or bottom plane.

Changing this dropdown will change the entries on the Extent Section.

Extent

Sets the specific extents of the image file.

The 3DViz module will plot the:

  • Lower left hand corner of the image file in the "Origin"
  • Left extent in the X1,Y1,Z1 position
  • Upper extent in the X2,Y2, Z2 position.
