Cutting an Image

You can split an image and keep it to use it as a drawing support.

Before you begin: Import an image. See Importing Images onto Planes.
  1. From the Images section of the action bar, tap Cut Image .
  2. Draw a stroke over the image to cut it.

    The image is displayed in no show and a polyline appears on the image.



  3. Tap the part of the image you want to keep.


    Notes:
    • The kept image is added to the tree.
    • The initial image is not modified.
    • If you draw another line, the previous one disappears.
    • You can cut several images at once.
  4. To modify the resolution of the image, press the pen button bound to the right-click of the pointer and tap the image edge.
    The Image Resolution panel appears and displays the possible available resolutions.
  5. From the standard area of the action bar, tap Transform.
    Tip: You can also double-tap the image to launch the Transform command.
  6. Transform the selected curves by performing either of the following operations:
    • Resize the curves by dragging the corners or the edges of the handle's plane.
    • Translate the curves along the directions of the handle.
    • Translate the curves along the normal of the handle.
    • Rotate the curves using the center point of the handle.
    Transformation operations are also available by double-tapping the image, and through Modify.
  7. Optional: Copy, cut, paste, or delete the image as appropriate.

You can now use this image as a drawing support for sketching or tracing.
