Raster image behind viewport?

How on earth can I place a raster image behind a viewport????

Thanks,

Hi

Where is the Raster Image (in Paperspace / Layout)?

If yes, can you not place the Raster Image in Modelspace then use Floating Viewports to achieve the results you require.

Have a good one, Mike

Hi Mike,
I tried that, but the image obscures the viewport contents, any lines in paperspace are over the image. I want to place an image of the station (lighthouse) behind an electrical layout. (cable runs etc.)

This is driving me bananas.

Hi Mike,
Some good reading there, thanks, but I'll be plotting VPs in hideplot, which seems to block out rasters in that viewport. Also, if I have a raster in a seperate viewport, I can't see any viewports above or below it. Anything in paperspace is okay, so there's the option of plotting the required VP to file in DXB, and using DXBin to superimpose it over the raster in layout. For now I'll render the whole thing, and use materials to make what I want semitransparent.

Monkeynuts.
