ABSTRACT
This example shows the raster file rendering.bmp of the 3D model constructed to the details given in the drawing in Fig. 20.1.
Raster images are graphics images such as those taken from files ending with the file extensions *.bmp, *.pcx, *.tif and the like. The types of graphics files which can be inserted into AutoCAD drawings can be seen by first clicking on Raster Image . . . in the Insert dropdown menu (Fig. 20.2), which brings the Select Image File dialog (Fig. 20.3) on screen. In the dialog click the arrow to the right of the Files of type field and the popup list which appears lists the types of graphics files which can be inserted into AutoCAD drawings. Such graphics files can be used to describe in 3D the details shown in 2D by a technical drawing.
