Can I Draw On An Existing Photo In Chief Architect?

[Quinkles McGee]

Hello Everyone,

I am currently using X5, and I know it is possible to import pictures to chief and use them as backgrounds or for other graphic purposes, but more specifically I was just asked recently if it would be possible to take a picture of the front of a persons house and add a porch, new windows, and some other modifications to the house without actually taking the time to draw a whole house plan. I have a couple of ideas of how I might be able to accomplish this, but thinking about the amount of time I would put into making it look remotely professional, I feel like I could have just drawn a plan and done a ray trace and been done with it.

So I am looking for some wisdom if editing a picture in that way in chief is possible? Or if it is but is extremely labor intensive, if it would just make more sense to draw the home and do a ray trace and just add a realistic picture for the background.

Thanks everyone for your help, and I appreciate your time.
