Description

Place Reference command

Inserted on a design layer, the Camera Match reference provides Camera Match with the model’s orientation in 3D space.

Place Camera Match Object command

Placed while in viewport Edit Annotation mode, the Camera Match object calculates the 3D view by aligning control lines to the photograph.

Camera Match Mask tool

Placed while in viewport Edit Annotation mode, the Camera Match mask object masks parts of the rendered model with the photo image, effectively erasing portions of the rendered model. Mask objects can also be used to clone parts of the photo; cloning can cover parts of the photo image with other parts of the photo.
