Any image can be adjusted in size or even changed to a different image altogether. Select the image and click the Open Object 
edit button to open the Image Specification dialog.
Existing images can also be opened for specification directly from the Library Browser. Select an image in the tree view, right click, and select Open from the contextual menu.
Image File - The path and name of the selected image file. Click Browse to open the Library Browser and replace the current image with a different one.
2D Plan Symbol - Several universal CAD blocks are available to mark the location of the image in floor plan view. Select one from the drop-down list or click the Library button to choose a CAD block from the Library Browser.
If you change the CAD block that represents an image in floor plan view, you may want to save the new image to the library. See "Displaying Images".
Height - Enter a height for the selected image. The width adjusts proportionally.
Width - Enter a width for the selected image. The height adjusts proportionally.
Check Do not rotate in render view to keep the image from rotating with the camera.
Location - Locate the selected image precisely by specifying its X Coordinate and Y Coordinate.
Height Above - Specify the image height above the ground, if applicable.
Click this button to keep the default transparency included in the image file.
To use another color to represent the tansparency, click this button.
Click the color box to open Color Chooser dialog and select another transparency color.
Enter a level of Tolerance to be applied to colors that are almost the same color as the specified transparency color. Use the slide bar or type a number in the edit box.
Place your pointer over a part of the preview and a magnified preview displays here, allowing for accurate pixel selection.
By default, the program uses magenta as the transparency color. Every pixel in the image that is magenta becomes transparent in 3D views. If the image itself contains the transparency color, that part of the image also becomes transparent. This may make the image appear partially disintegrated.
You may need to experiment to find the best transparency color for the image.
