How to integrate a foto in a model

[Detlef Fallisch]

I am in the process of building a workbench. On the bench I want to integrate a metal vice. Here is a a link what vice I want to integrate in the bench:

Is there an easy way to show the vice in the model? I have no SU model of a vice (has somebody perhaps already made a model of such a vice?)

How can a picture (image) be combinend with a SU model?

File>Import, then pick the file type and navigate to the folder with the image. Click OPEN and the dialog box will go away and your image will be connected to the tip of your cursor. Navigate around in your SU model until you can click on the face where the photo will go. You can create a flat 2D rectangle to start with, drop the image onto it, explode it, and then using lines and other line manipulation tools, shape the rectangle to look like the vice. It works pretty slick. This technique works best with a straight-on photo.
