Overlay model on aerial photo?

Overlay model on aerial photo?

Overlay model on aerial photo?

(OP)
Has anyone found an easy way to place their HydoCAD model on an aerial photo so a client can visualize what each symbol represents.  I can "print screen" and paste, but do not know how to make it transparent so the photo can be seen.

RE: Overlay model on aerial photo?

You can save images as a .tiff file or numerous others and raster reference into Microstation or AutoCAD.  I know you can control raster transparency in Microstation but I have not figured that out in ACAD yet

RE: Overlay model on aerial photo?

I've been working with images lately and might be able to help you, but don't work with HydroCAD and I would need to know what image format HydroCAD can import, or alternatively, what kinds of model overlay diagrams can be exported by HydroCAD.

Please post your question in the HydroCAD forum...
