How do I add an image (for example as a poster, rug or other decor)?

Images are useful for decorating a space when dealing with flat objects, like posters, rugs, screens, or other decor.

Tip: When using an image as decoration, make sure 'Controls' and 'Billboard' options are turned off in the image 'Properties'. This ensures the image blends into the background without extra functions.

You can add images in different ways:

1) Upload an image to a collection:

First add the image to one of your collections in the backend, for easy retrieval and reuse
In the backend, go to 'Content' and select a collection to place your image

Click 'Upload' to add your image to your collection.

You can now find the image in your collection in the 3D editor.

2) Upload a single image directly in the 3D editor

The 3D editor has a default folder for loose files where you can upload and use images

Go to 'My assets' in the 3D editor
Click 'upload' to upload your file
The image is now in 'My assets', click it to add it to your design

Tip: You can also drag a file from your desktop directly into your Viewport - this is the same as 'uploading to My assets'

3) Add your image as a link

In the 3D editor, go to 'Elements' and choose 'Image'

Place the 'image' object at the desired location
Select the 'image' object and paste the image link in the 'Properties' window (bottom right)

About using direct links:

Using links saves storage space because you don't upload the file to KeyStone

However, if the image owner removes it from the internet, it won't work in your design anymore

Always use a direct link to a file, not to a website or 'viewer'. Make sure the link ends with a common file extension like '.jpg' or '.png'
