Hi, welcome to the forum.

You can first measure the length and breadth of the wall you will like to place the image.  
To measure the distance between wall edges, tap to select wall edges and the distance between them is displayed at the bottom of the workspace.

Import the image and with the edit image option still active, tap on it’s length/breadth dimension labels to input dimensions matching with that of the wall.

I hope this is helpful 🙂

Importing an image to trace over to create a 3D model is great. It’s nice that you can also import PNG files. An interesting property of PNG files is that you can have the background transparent. Here’s a little demo where I imported some PNG files and placed them very close to flat surfaces in 3D space. This is great for simple presentations w…
