Aligning the background images

Post by lalberts »

Dear Sweet HOme 3D programmers,

I have a lot of trouble to superpose 2 floors from 2 different scans of my home floor-drawings.
one can set the zero, the scale... but one can not rotate the plan.

it is not very convenient to try to move (and rotate) the walls of the first floor and try to align to the floorplan of the next level.. because there is no way to know how much should be turned or translated.

some tools to align floor plan would be great.

Thanks Lukas
(going to align the plans with inkscape or so.)

I agree to have more options in manipulate background images.
Until there, in same situations, I prepare the images in a external program (gimp, inkscape, gwenview etc.) to rotate and cut the unnecessary borders etc. Then I import them as background on different levels.
In any case is not a option to rotate walls and furniture on every level. In 3D You will have a mess.
