I am trying to use a jpeg image for a sign in a project. It shows up only in the elevation but when I try to view it 3D it disappears. Can anyone help with this dilemma and how? Thank you!

Decals is one way of doing it. But I think this works only for rendered views. Just use another program like Photoshop to transform and place the image in the view. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd like to know as well please! you can find decals under the models menu.
The help menu reads, " In the drawing area, click a flat surface face (such as a wall face or roof face) to place the decal. You can also place a decal on a cylindrical surface. The decal image displays as a symbolic image (a clear box with 2 lines through it) in all non-rendered views, as shown. The actual image is visible only in rendered views."
Good luck!

When you insert an image in Revit (not through a Decal) it is a "view specific" object.....it only shows in the view you inserted it. So as you inserted in the elevation, it will only show on the elevation. If you want it on the 3d, you won't be able to do it in revit. Like it was said, through a Decal you can render an image...but that isn't what you are trying to do.Originally Posted by dcox.138820
Do it in SketchUp. That seems to **** Autodesk off, and anything SketchUp does, Autodesk copies a year or two later anyway.Originally Posted by dcox.138820
Snarky mode off. Seriously, if you need to do it for a design presentation, do it in SketchUp. Then do an image in a 2D view in Revit for the CDs. Or you could do the 3D view as an export from Revit and skew the sign on using Photoshop. I am pretty sure the only way to do do it in Revit is to render, which is not a look I like.
