Title: Import image for house and property lines - rotation adjustment
Post by: JCBrown on February 15, 2021, 02:29:17 PM
Windows 10, using TurboFloorPlan Pro 2016.

I have imported a scanned image of the property. I can find no way to rotate the image in V2016 to line up with the house so that the walls become adjusted to the grid for drawing. Does the latest version 2020 have such a feature?

I drew the property lines, 1 wall line of the house, then rotated everything (except the image which doesn't rotate) to get my wall line horizontal, then I drew from there. However, it would be good if the image could be adjusted first by drawing a line and then having the image and the line rotate such that the line is horizontal.

Thanks,
John

Hi there,

After you imported the trace image, you can't rotate the image (any program, any version).

Try these workarounds:
1 - Using any image program (Paint, for example) => you can rotate the image before importing it => then, proceed to import the rotated image.
2 - Open a new and empty file => import the trace image => draw the desired elements, such as the property lines => select all => rotate => select all => copy => go to the file where the house is => Paste.

Hope this helps.
