Building on top of an image

[Michael Horvath]

You can make a textured quad out of it and put it in a .dat.

Or generate a sticker using my online script:

Then put that in the model and build over it in ortho mode.

Thanks a lot for this tip and for the generator page, Roland! I needed this several times but I did not know there is already a solution. Instead, I simulated ldraw modelling in inkscape - you may image the pain

The output of the online tool works in LDView (and presumably also in LDCAD). Not sure how to get it to work in LeoCAD however. And I doubt it works in MLCAD at all.
