When I setup the bitmaps on the planes and I change my angle in my perspective view the texture doesn't show.(it does show when I don't change the angle) See attachments for details

Hi,

Have you tried to active the "2-side" button, in the material editor?

Sorry, about my english.

Thumbs down Simple

Simple..... you, leave the referece planes as it is(dont remove them), put the blueprints as viewport backgrounds in the respective viewports. :firedevil

Hi, first I want to say hello, I'm new here :p

As I can see, the front view plane is facing the wrong side. You have two planes facing the same direction, so you won't see one o them i the front/back view. Try rotating the front view 180 degree on the Z axis, it should be good then :p You can also check the 2-sided checkbox in the material editor.

Hope I was helpfull, 'couse this tread is quit old, but other users have maybe the problem, i had some problems with blueprints as well, but it's not that difficult :p

PS. Sorry for my English, if I made a mistake, you can inform me :D
