Hi. Im pretty new to revit and am wondering if anyone can tell me how to insert a picture into revit to use as a background. I would like to do it so that as i orbit my model in 3d it appears to be surrounded by the actual scenery. Any suggestions on how to insert a photo into the background?

You can insert an image behind an elevation, or import one into a rendered view but you cannot insert an image behind your model as you orbit.  In any case, the image is 2d and the model is 3d so it can only be realistic in one view.
