How to rotate a background image 90 deg and copy it from one file to another
Is it possible to to move my top floor design together with its background image from one SH3D file to a different file containing the lower floors so that I can combine all the floors together with their background images?

Also, is it possible to rotate the background image of the top floor through 90 degrees when I combine it with the lower floors?

John,

1 - Go to the Documentation page and download the Plug-in Tutorial.
2 - Install the RotateHome plug-in. This adds a feature that enables you to rotate background image and modelling clockwise or counter-clockwise in 90 degree increments.
3 - It's possible to copy (parts of) your design from one instance of SH3D to another instance of SH3D. First open the source model, select the part that you want to copy. Leaving the first instance open, open the source instance of SH3D and copy your model there.
4 - Make sure that the background is oriented correctly, and that you have the correct level added and selected.
5 - Background images cannot be copied, but it's easy enough to import it/them again.

HI there
If you want to rotate the image,you can just refer to this code:
namespace RE__Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fileName = "c:/Sample.png";

REImage reImage = REFile.OpenImageFile(fileName);

ImageProcessing.ApplyRotate(reImage, 60);

REFile.SaveImageFile(reImage, "c:/reimage.png", new PNGEncoder());
