Maya 2012 Image - Cannot Select Image Plane

Image Plane

Hi @Anonymous

It looks like you may have imported the image a different way then you're supposed to for image planes.

It looks like you're trying to use the front of a head as reference so to do this, navigate to the 'Front View' then go to View->Image Plane-> Import Image.

Please let me know if this helps or if you need any more assistance!

Yes Thanks But Cannot Rotate Image Plane 

[sean.heasley · Accepted solution]

Hi @Anonymous

You can't rotate image planes, this is by design.

If you want the image on a plane you can rotate, you would need to create a plane and assign the image to it as a texture under the Material Attributes.

Let me know if you need any more assistance or if this solves your issue!
