Geometry disappears behind Image Plane
I want to model using an image plane as background for the modeling.
It works fine putting on a image in the front and the side camera, and i can squeeze it back and forth in the attribute editor.
BUT - when i make my geometry, a sphere, and i try to wiev it in my 'side-wiev' it is ALWAYS behind the image plane!
I have tried to dolly the camera back and forth, turning of and on "fixed / looking through camera" - NOTHING :-( My Geometry is STILL behind the image plane!
What am i doing wrong?

I did'nt reply on Mikes post, but Ponys post, and i still dont understand what he wants me to do :-)
But thank u for replying! I know it is the easiet way to do the 'image plane' --> to attach it to a Geometry Plane instead of the Camera.
HOWEVER - i don't understand why this problem occur and i HATE when i don't understand why problems occure.....!
:-)

I think he ment if you cant see the geometry behind the image plane you can move to the other side of the grid .
Go to the view you want to move the image plane and in the window select view/select camera then in the channel box select image plane and you will see a bunch of options move the image plane into position
center x,y,z
this way the geometry will not protrude thu te image and you wont see it.

Thanx again for replying :-)
BUT - that is excactly what i ment......no matter WHAT i do for centering the image plane in x, y and z, still the geometry is behind the image plane!
It is VERY weird - u could, if u want and have the time, try to download the "project-files" from the URL i have posted.
There u can see what is wrong and why i am so frustrated.
Thanx again :-)

Got to the front view panel select
view/predefined bookmarks/
then select back or front and the view should change.
