I'm still kinda green at making maps and I've been away from it for over a year, so I'm a bit rusty. Is there a way to import an image into ModTools to use as a starting point for placement of buildings, parking lots, etc.?

I'm thinking of building a small to medium map of my work building and the surrounding area.

Thanks for any help.

Save the image into the texture_assets folder (create it if it does not exist) width the jpg, tga or dds file extension. Then open asset manager select material and give it a nice name :P. I think the rest speaks for itself.
