    Reference Image Visibility

    Question Modeling
    Dodge

    Hello Peeps,

    I'm at a bit of a loss. I've checked all the boxes and clicked my Default, Both, Front and Back buttons till I'm blue in the face but I can't work out how to get my reference images to be visible or invisible when I want them to. In the attached images you can see that I had Front and Back ref images in front of and behind my wanna be iPhone, but both images are visible from both front and back views. I know there must be an easy answer but... 

    Thanks.

      BTW I get that position in the Y is not the issue. I have the images positioned like that so I can get my head around it.

      Hi Dodge,

      Not very intuitive, but set one as Front and the other as Back:

      If you want to test out how they actually counterintuitively work, try it with one image at a time and change the settings in only one so you get the hang of it. With the two images at the same time enabling too many stuff, you can get confused.

      Thanks guys. It took me a while to work out that the back of an object can also be the front.
