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.
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.
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.
