Image Planes and References
I want to create some reference drawings before starting a model, my book says to just add them as image planes in the viewpoint window I want them in (Side, Front etc) and lower the transparency, which is fine.
However, in other tutorials I have seen they have the images in the background of the view point, far behind the model, and they references do not show in the Pers window.
Yet mine always show in all windows, leaving me with a big ' X ' of the images in the Pers window.
Does anyone know how to simply hide them in the Pers Window? Or was this only available in older versions?

you applying them as textures on planes or as view>image plane>import image. You can just select your reference and hdie it.
