Hi all!
I am beginning to learn how to do 3D modeling and rendering in Microstation. I am using V8i.
I have a DTM surface that I would like to drape a raster image onto. The image has a much larger area than the surface, does this matter? I've tried to search for information, and found a few threads. I've followed their directions with no luck, so I feel as if I'm missing a step.
The images I have are in .tif and .jpg format. I've tried to make materials and palates, too.
The two threads I found were called "Bentley Descartes - Raster Draping" and "Make DTM and drape an image using only Microstation" from the Wiki forums.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Christina
Hello Christina,
If your image is georeferenced, you can use de "dcdrape" material :
In the raster manager, open the image and make sure that "draping" is on. Next, you creat an new palette and import the material "dcdrape" from the palette dcdrape.pal. Assign the material to the level of the shape. And the image is drapped !
hope this will help you,
And for the mesh you can use "mesh from element" or "mesh from contour" and you will have a single shape.
