Can anyone explain why the picture frame is displaying the path to the Alpha Mask in the image? How do I hide this? See red arrow pointing towards path in picture frame object.
I’m using these settings:
Vertical SelfIllumination=Yes EmbedBitmap=Yes AutoName=No AlphaTransparency=Yes
Thanks,
Eric
Hi Eric - Did you just create this picture or are you opening an old file for which textures may be missing?

I made this picture a week or so ago. I thought I embedded the image in the picture or at least that was my intention. I am trying to create a library of these images to use to drag and drop into equipment layout floorplans. Some, not all, of the pictures I had in the file I was working on came up with this path name inscription one day when I opened the file? If you create a picture frame and embed the file do you need the original .png file that was used to create the picture frame object? I would like to be able to pass these things around without having the original picture following it around if possible.

Hi Eric - is this all in V5 or V6?
-Pascal
I’m working in 5 but also have 6 available.

Hi Eric - in V5, you could embed PictureFrame images at the time the PictureFrame was created. Otherwise, they would not be embedded. In V6, the mechanism is different - Picture (new command name) images are treated just like any texture used in materials - they are saved with the 3dm file by default and if not present on the machine where the file is opened, they unpack to a separate folder and are then used from that location, but they are not embedded in the 3dm file in the same way as V5.

Thanks Pascal. I’ll check that out in Rhino6.
