Image Import in Chat

Torrify lets you attach reference images to chat messages so the AI can model from photos, sketches, or dimension references.

How To Use

1. Click the 📎 paperclip in the chat input.
2. Select one or more images.
3. Review thumbnails before sending.
4. Send your message with a description of what you need.

What The AI Sees

• The text you write
• The current CAD code (if any)
• Attached images
• Optional 3D snapshot from the preview panel

Project Persistence

Images are saved into .torrify project files as data URLs:

• They reload when a project is opened.
• They are visible in the chat history.

Files Involved

• src/components/ChatPanel.tsx (image picker + preview)
• src/services/llm/GeminiService.ts (image payloads)
• src/services/llm/OpenRouterService.ts (image payloads)

Tips

• Include a ruler or known object for scale.
• Use clear, well-lit images with minimal background clutter.
