Hi all, I've been playing around with the TDV version and was wondering if it's possible to use images from Google Earth as a background? If so how do I do it? many thanks Andy. |

This Templot screenshot of Corfe Castle is from Paul Boyd: 105_151522_380000000.png  Background images are inserted in picture shapes. You would need to capture the image as a screenshot first. See this video: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/map_picture_shape.exe More info: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_bgshape.htm Note that in TDV it is no longer necessary to use BMP format only, you can also use JPG, PNG and GIF image files. Also it is no longer necessary to save the file in the SHAPE-FILES folder. Also, you can now bend such images to fit your railway room, see:message 9830 regards, Martin. |
