and this for sizing and placing your image as a spherical background map:

use RT to help place the background

Hi fooprobe, thank you for your reply!
You know if there is any technique for iserir 3d models in photo with inregular ground?
I need to insert a 3d building in this photo, in the area marked in red.
I'm not able to frame the 3d model in the area correctly!
Thank you!

Look the image:

I could not see the photo, but you can model the terrain and then apply wrapper material to it to cast shadows on a transparency terrain. Then you could place the image in the background. You have to change the UVW Type for the image to UVWGenEnvironment and change the Mapping type to screen. This allows you to place a flat image into the background. To be able to see the image in the viewport you can place it as wallpaper. Then you just have to match the Rhino camera with the images. To match the camera with the photo you can try to use the Rhino PerspectiveMatch command. If that doesn't work, then you will have to do it manually.

This is a tutorial that we did for Sketchup, but the same concept could be apply in Rhino. If you look the side wall that I made to cast shadows on that area, something like that is what you have to do, but with the form of the floor.

Thanks for that, Fernando, I forgot all about the wrapper material. I'll have to update my methodologies...
