I have something designed in Photoshop that I need to engrave into the surface of a 3D model. It's pretty straightforward: rectangular B/W image, rectangular object. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. Is this possible? If so, what file format do I need to export from Photoshop to get it to work and what tool to use in ViaCAD?

I've tried using the wrap tool but it doesn't allow me to select the imported file (I've tried PSD, BMP, PNG, and EPS -- all import the image but the Wrap tool won't let me select that image).

I'm in ViaCad Pro 12, btw

The Wrap tool requires vectors/curves.
