Sounds like a texture to me. Is this what you are looking for ?

i am not sure if a basemap or aerial photo is described as texture. i just want to be able to locate where i am in my model by importing maps.

here is the Block model spanning over 10 x 10 km. I would like to ‘add’ on top a aerial map from Google maps for example that would be georeferenced.

Hello Mathieu,

I’m using ParaView 5.8.0. I don’t see “Load Texture” option in the “File” dropdown list.  
How can I load texture into ParaView 5.8.0?  
Thanks.

Andrew
