In this Revit Tutorial I demonstrate a clever technique to help you align real photographs with your 3D view in Autodesk Revit.

Tip: change your phase to Existing so you dont have the addition hiding half of the geometry. Align your view. Then change phase back to New Construction.
This is brilliant! I have been wanted to know how to match site photo withy models for so long. Best regards!!

Glad it was helpful!
Easier way if you're familiar with the following concepts- STEP 1. Draw a long ass wall and put it roughly 10-20 metres behind your house. STEP 2. Add a Decal to this wall and stretch the Decal so it covers the entire wall. STEP 3. Link the decal with the image you want to use. STEP 4. Make a camera view and change this view to "Realistic" (Making it realistic gets the Decal to show up without needing to render). STEP 5. Accurately align your image by moving the wall around and the decal up and down till you get it looking right. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Having the image as a movable object in the view allows you to accurately scale the image using any two points in the image that you already have the dimensions of i.e length of overall house, eave width, window height, etc). With a little practice this process can get you the image you're after in 5 minutes and without photoshop. Just delete the wall and decal when you're finished or if you need it for later, just hide it in all the views except for one so you can still move/modify it later.

Evan Manttari thanks for the comment!! Interesting approach I have never heard of before ! Not sure if it is “easier” though... ;)
didnt occur to me to use the sheet to overlap the photo and the 3D view! mind blown. Thank you for the tip.

@@TheRevitKid I just wondering how can I include a png image inside it, alongside with the BIM to align it. Is there a way to do that ?
