bmp on sketch

bmp on sketch

bmp on sketch

(OP)
I have placed a bmp image onto a sketch for a tetra pack product, but it does not show in .idw, how do I overcome this?
Many thanks in advance

RE: bmp on sketch

The only way to get it to show is to change it to a rendered view.

RE: bmp on sketch

Just clarification. Its "shaded" view not rendered view.
To have a decal show in the IDW you need to change that view type to shaded.

RE: bmp on sketch

Please forgive my terminology..  

RE: bmp on sketch

(OP)
Thanks for the replies, i have the view shaded but BMP not there!
Any ideas?

RE: bmp on sketch

Is is visible in the model? Does it appear as an icon? If you set your default picture viewer to MS Paint.

I have you just added the picture to an existing model? If so is your view associative?

Perhaps try a jpeg or png, they also have smaller file sizes?

RE: bmp on sketch

You need to use the decal functionality on that sketch.
