Hi everyone, Quick question about the size at which images display in Rise. I want to insert smaller icon graphics into image blocks and prevent them from being expanded to fill the space. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? On a related note, didn't there used to be a size option (small, medium, large, or percentages) with some image blocks? I don't see this option any more. Thanks in advance for any help! Tamara

Early in our use of Rise, I did some experimentation with all the image container sizes in Rise, looking to have some control over this. If you create your graphic to match the container size, it won't scale to fit, leaving you with consistent line weight on your graphics. I've found that it's best to design for the width of the container, and then you're free to make the height smaller if needed.This isn't a complete list, but it's most of them.These are the specs we build graphics to: Image maximum Width/Height before Rise starts to scale to fit into the feature/lesson type.

Hi, articulate1 birtlh, Thanks for reaching out! Currently, you can adjust the width of a Storyline block to Small, Medium, or Full using the Format tab. If you have additional questions or need assistance with your project, please let us know here or privately in a support case.

I am looking for image size dimensions for three column grid. I tried 371 as noted above and that just made the image blurry. help! If I could control where the square placement is then this would be fine. but crop is my only option. I used AI to generate a square image and then looked at the image size in my editor. that square is 640x640. so I tried setting image to 640 width and that just made things worse.

If you can get the icons in SVG format, there is a trick you can do in the tag to make it not scale. SVG files are just text, you can edit them in a text editor. Here is the start of a normal svg file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg id="a" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 858.99 844.33"> <rect x="142.74" y="150.25" ... etc Here's what you add to make it not scale - preserveAspectRatio, width and height: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <svg id="a" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 858.99 844.33" width="100" height="100" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin slice"> <rect x="142.74" y="150.25" width="574.56" ... etc I also find adding _NOPROCESS_ to the filename useful to ensure Rise's file compressor doesn't mess it up. I've added files with and without as an example.

image size controls (small, medium, large)?

  @micheleHenry-7 The placeholder images in Rise 3ximage gallery are 1680 x 1120 at 96 dpi for web. Does this help? You can also check the box to constrain them to a square and then use the image crop function (under edit) to move the part of the picture you want to be in view to the center of the square.

<rect x="142.74" y="150.25" ... etc

Here's what you add to make it not scale - preserveAspectRatio, width and height:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<svg id="a" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 858.99 844.33" width="100" height="100" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMin slice">

<rect x="142.74" y="150.25" width="574.56" ... etc

I also find adding _NOPROCESS_ to the filename useful to ensure Rise's file compressor doesn't mess it up.

Hi Tamara,

The Image & Text block allows you to set the image size to 20-, 50-, or 75%.

  Thank you! Apparently I was missing the new edit bar on the right. Was
  looking for it where it used to be on the left.

Hi Tim and Karl,

Both of your posts are super - helpful. I appreciate it! For some reason, I was not noticed the design icon on the right that lets you set the control.

Best,

Tamara

Is there any trick to change the size of the storyline within Rise 360? Rise only allows 3 sizes but I need an intermediate size.
