Using blueprints in Amapi?

Caine · 28-03-2003, 06:47 AM

I would like to know if it's possible to use blueprints as backgrounds in Amapi, like in that great Fiat tutorial? I know you can do it in Rhino, but I can't model in Rhino

I got Amapi 5.x for free, so it would be neat if this was possible.

i dunno, I would try using planes with the blueprint bitmap as the texture, so long as amapi can display bitmap textures in viewports that should work... Dunno the exact process cos I've never used amapi myself.
