Rubber sheet fitment raster image for points within image area possible?

Hi,
V8
Can Rhino have an image placed in (I know that bit) (was PictureFrame in V5)
then points within that image sent to predetermined points so moving the image in a rubber sheet way ?
Explaining with real example.
I need to create an old airfield and buildings.
I place an Ordnance Survey map into Top View, to actual scale. or 1:10 ?

Q1.Now will this need to be 1:10 scale ? or can Rhino cope with an area 1.2km x 1.2km ?

That done, I then place in same method an aerial photograph, and find a X rd for a track is a bit out, also a pill box fortification, also a corner of a building, and so on.
I select these points in the aerial photo then select the correct locations made prior that with point tool command and say go fit to that lot !
The aerial photo then gets ‘rubber sheeted’ and it fits.

Q2. is that possible ?

Q3. Then I place in topological height data and have the map and aerial pic reform to the actual slopes and so on of the area. Possible ?

Then I intend to draw the buildings to match the aerial pic.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve -

You can create models that have Astronomical Units sizes - you just need to make sure to use the correct unit and tolerance. I’d use meters and 0.001 in your case.

You can Scale1D a picture object just like any other object. It’d surprise me if you got that to completely correspond, though. If a simple 2D scale doesn’t get maps points in the same location, the two maps are using different projections.

You can use images as textures for objects.

Not exactly what you want:
You can turn on the control points of a Picture image and distort the image by moving control points.
For more flexibility you can create a Cage on the image with any desired number of points and then use CageEdit to distort the image.

Hi,
Cage edit to get a rubbersheet type localised fitment of the aerial pic it might have to be then.
I very much doubt the aerial pic, due to optics of the time , would fit, but there again it might.
Working in feet in fact. after I map the 1km gridded OS map to Rhino.
No doubt a lot more to ask when I get to do it.

Cheers
