Rhino 4 has this feature called Picture Frame. But the images on the planar surfaces are visible only when the current shading mode is set to render textures. It is a really nice feature, though. I agree it would be nice in Moi too. But it would probably require that Moi is able to render textures in real-time. the side-effect is that Moi would have to support textures for all objects. I think nobody will complain if Moi can support textures!!! :)

**PS - the other nice thing about using a surface with displayed image is that it will support trimming/splitting operations. So it's especially helpful for visualizations such as architectural, using planes to represent background objects (or people) in a scene. trim away the parts of surface you don't need...
