alice-teacher Importing a part of object, unable to move in world

[Donald Slater]

Pat,
For Alice 2, choose make billboard from the File menu… You will then be able to import your jpg as part of the billboard object…

There are billboards in Alice 3 as well. Go to the Alice 3 Gallery, the Shapes tab, and selective billboard object, and there you will be able to import the image.

All the best,
Don Slater
