Drawing on a 2D Image
Reading Time: 1 minuteIn this video demo, we will demonstrate creating a Ventus model by drawing on a 2D image. Ventus can import a large number of 2D formats, including: BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, JIF, JPE, PNG, PDF, TIF, TGA, and TARGA.
This video demonstrates drawing on a JPG file. The procedure would be similar for all 2D formats. Resources for replicating this video are given below.

Our model will be made using two floor plans. The ground floor plan and the floor plan for levels 2-30 are shown below. Note that the first figure includes some key coordinates that we will use when importing and creating the model.

We thank WPI for sharing this example. It is a building that was used for homework in their evacuation class.
