Importing
Importing files into Rayon ⬇️
Most projects start from a pre-existing file. Rayon allows you to import images (JPG and PNG), AutoCAD files (DWG and DXF), and PDF files. Let's see how it's done!
💡 FYI: PDF and DWG file imports are limited to files up to 10Mo.
Importing an Image 🖼️
To import an image to Rayon from your workspace;
Click on
Import
and choose a file to bring into your workspace.Help Rayon set the scale by estimating the length of the blue line in relation to the floor plan and clicking on
Import
.Thats it! Your new model will be generated in the workspace.

Import
.Thats it! Your new model will be generated in the workspace.
💡 Imported DWG or DXF plans can be out of scale because of a mismatch between the unit of the original file and Rayon’s unit system (one can be in millimeters and the other in meters, for instance). To set the right scale, check out this short example!
