Image properties

Type

Model_Image_Manager_Properties_Type

Type indicates the method used to draw the image; Plan or Section.

Plan type images are shown in a horizontal plane, while Section type images are shown in a vertical plane.

Origin

Model_Image_Manager_Properties_Position

The origin is a point where the image is placed with X and Y values defined in the same coordinate system as the model.

The position of the origin changes based on the type selected:

Plan Type - the origin is the bottom-left corner, this is normal for georeferenced images.

Section Type - the origin is the top-left corner (typically a ground reference).

Size

Model_Image_Manager_Properties_Size

Simply these values are the images width and height (in model units) that are used to scale the image.

For Plan type images, width is the measurement in the X-direction with height being the measurement in the Y-direction.

Orientation

The orientation defines the direction that the image is drawn from the origin.

Model_Image_Manager_Properties_Orientation

The orientation is a vector defined by its trend (angle in the horizontal) and plunge (angle from the horizontal).

Plan type images are typically defined in a regular grid pattern, requiring no change to the default orientation vector:

Model_Image_Manager_Properties_Type_Plan

Changing the same image to Section type, using the same orientation vector, changes the Origin point to the top-left corner:
