Import image as underlay

Justin Jackman Updated by Justin Jackman

The Image Underlay feature allows users to upload an image of a floor plan directly onto the canvas in Studio within XactRemodel. This enables users to draw over the image using the tools in XactRemodel Studio to create a floor plan with accurate measurements for quicker and more precise estimates.

Importing an image

To import an image into Studio:

  1. Navigate to the Studio tab
    The ability to draw floor plans and perform take-offs using your drawing is available to users on the XactRemodel Studio and XactRemodel PRO subscriptions. To upgrade your subscription, contact our sales team at 1-833-352-9228.
  2. Click the Import button at the top right of the page
  3. Select "Underlay Image"
  4. Navigate to the location of the image you would like to import in the Explorer/Finder window, and select the image
  5. Set the appropriate scale so your drawing will be accurate once it is imported onto the canvas. To do so, select two points on the image then enter the length between the two points placed on the image.
  6. Click OK to set the scale.
  7. Click OK on the Import Underlay Image pop-up to import the image.
  8. The image will be placed on the canvas and you can now trace your floor plan over the imported image.
Supported file types include: .jpg, .png, .bmp, and .gif files
