Add raster images or PDF files to a schedule or family.
You can also link an image or PDF file from BIM360 and Desktop Connector. The Manage Images dialog also lists all raster images and PDFs in the model, including any rendered images that you have saved to the model. You can also use this dialog to add images to the model that you want to associate with elements for scheduling purposes.
The Manage Images dialog provides the only way to delete an image from the schedule. You cannot remove an image from the model by deleting it from a view or a sheet.
