Projecting an image on to a surface - How to Add Texture to a Site Topography Model in Rhino 3D

The easiest way to project a flat image on to your topography model’s surface in Rhinoceros 3D. Map a site plan or image from google maps to your 3D site model in under a minute. Check out my FREE online course for architecture students: ▼ 70 Hacks for Architecture Students▼ Rhino 3D in collaboration with Sketchup allows you to create a site model in less than 60 seconds using information from Google Earth. You can then take a screenshot of google maps, scale it to the right dimensions in AutoCAD or Illustrator, and in Rhino assign your 3D model with that texture of the screenshot of the site. This gives your model some site context and texture, allowing you to understand the site better. This is extremely useful as an architecture student who needs to present a project. Now your 3D site topography model has a texture mapped to it, you can move on to conceptualising.
