Importing Floor Plan Image Files

[Ben Ritter]

What is the trick to importing a clear image of a floor plan for tracing? I have a large .tif file that becomes fuzzy when imported as a texture. Is there another method I should be using?

Thanks. Ben

It's a common problem. Well not a problem, more a limitation. See this for a little more info...

i think that's old info because SU can now support up to 2048x2048 if you have 'use maximum texture size' enabled via preferences>open GL

[how's my bling looking ? ]

you shouldn't have any issues with Tiff if you have max texture size selected.

Now your rolling on 22's

Thank you everyone, I will make sure the max texture size is checked and will try to downsize the image first.

Thanks again. I set max texture size and was able to use an image of 4000 pixels with no problems. Using SU8.
