Place images as 3D signs and posters

An image plane is a textured 3D plane placed at one point on the map. Unlike a floor plan — which pins a flat raster to the ground by its corners — a plane sits at one anchor and can tilt, spin, and roll on all three axes. Reach for it when the image needs to be a physical object in 3D: a hanging sign, a wall poster, a tilted billboard, a facility logo standing up next to a building. In a store, that could be a wayfinding poster standing by the entrance or a department sign hanging over an aisle.

To open the tool: open the Draw flyout on the left toolbar and pick Add image plane, or press F on the keyboard (only while nothing is selected). 0 also opens it. Placed planes are listed under Image planes in the side panel.

The tool is a two-step flow: pick an image, then click on the map. Activating it opens the "Add image plane" dialog straight away.

1. 1
   Pick an image

   The dialog has two tabs. From library reuses an image the workspace already uploaded, scoped with This facility / Whole workspace tabs (each tile shows where it's used). Upload new takes a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, saves it to the workspace for reuse and goes straight on to placement. On the library tab, pick a tile and click Place on map (or double-click the tile). The dialog opens on From library when the workspace already has images.

2. 2
   Click on the map

   The cursor turns to a crosshair. Click anywhere and the plane lands centred on that point, named after the image file. The new plane is selected and the editor switches back to Select — open the tool again for the next plane.

3. 3
   The plane starts at real-world size

   The tool reads the image's pixel dimensions and seeds width and height at one centimetre per pixel — a 1920 × 1080 image becomes 19.2 m × 10.8 m. The longer side is capped at 100 m (the shorter side scales in proportion), and neither side starts below 0.5 m.

The image plane editor is compact — four sections, plus the Data links list at the bottom. Click the name in the header to rename the plane.

The Rotation section is where the tool earns its name. Every image plane has three independent rotation axes; together they can put the plane anywhere between flat on the ground and hanging in mid-air at any angle.

Width and Height are the metre dimensions of the plane before rotation. Elevation is how far above the ground it sits. Opacity is a straight 0–100 % transparency.

• Width and Height are independent — there is no aspect-ratio lock. Change one and only that dimension moves.
• Both are in metres, with a 0.1 m minimum and 0.5 m steps.
• The Elevation slider covers 0 to 100 m; type a number for anything higher.

Image planes have no multi-select editor of their own — each plane is edited from its own panel. If a marquee selection picks up image planes together with other kinds of shapes, the mixed-selection panel can still delete, hide, show or move them to another floor in one go.
