Modo's reference planes/ backdrop images

zombie420 · Dec 2014

I've made a backdrop image to use as a reference plane. That part is no sweat. Unfortunately it isn't showing up in any of the orthographic views, only perspective. I'm surely overlooking something?

It's stupid. You have to edit the properties of the Backdrop item and tell it which view you'd like it to appear in.

Why it doesn't just align to the current viewport projection is beyond me.

I'm on 801. When I drag and drop images into the matching viewports in a quad model view it aligns perfectly.

Not related to the topic, but how can you transfer UVs from an object to a similar one in Modo? In Maya it's "Transfer Attributes"

Thanks, warren. You nailed it
