I had thought of this sort of rotation ;)
Easy to draw it at the Loading on the inclined face
Image rotate from plan to any angle but it is not visible from the "Right" side !
Align don't work from plan to inclined face

Hi Pilou,

> I had thinking of this sort of rotation ;)

I think that's probably not the kind of alignment that JPB is talking about, although hard to say without seeing any actual sketches or illustrations of the original question.

But if you want to do what you show there, just snap the points on to that plane when you initially place the image and you're done, here is an example:



You can also set the cplane as another way to control how the image will be placed when you draw it.

Hi Pilou - I see now you mean rotate from an odd angle down to the plane?

For that I would just recommend drawing a brand new image flat on the plane and delete the old angled one, that is a simple way to get that result.

Maybe in the future I can get the tri-ball rotation to handle that case, but that will be overall more complicated, why not just use the simple way that already works?

- Michael

yes when you draw first that easy but seems impossible if image is yet existing ;)
Edit Cross posts :)
Yes you right why not use existing easy thing :) It's not me who asked a rotation at the first post :)

Hi Pilou,

Yeah it won't work to modify the existing image, but it's not impossible to get the final result you want. Just delete the existing one and draw a new one and you will have it...

Does that do the job you want there? If so then I'm not sure if there is really a problem that needs to be solved.

Problem is as you can move and rotate yet in 3D view on the existing plan you want have the other rotation so frustration :)

Frenchy's picture will work as he asked. In the draw box he must choose "With Objects". Then you can grab that image that is flat on the ground and move it up to the top corner of his object (3d view) then use the roatte widget to rotate it down to match the angle.

Hi Pilou,

Solution to frustration: Delete the image and draw a new one flat on the plane. You get the result you want, it only takes a few seconds, so frustration is ended quickly! :)

Why stay frustrated when there is an easy method to get what you need?

@ Burr Seems not ;)


@ Michael
I am agree with you for how obtain the same result ;)
It's just that seems a "natural missing"

Hi Pilou,

> It's just that seems a "natural missing"

It's not really a big problem area to solve, since background images are not really altered in fine degrees like that from their initial placement in their typical usage.

It would be nice to have it in the future, but since there is a very simple existing solution it just isn't a high priority compared to other things...

- Michael

Of course! :)

Hi Michael,

OK, I get it now ! As I thought, it was just a case of my getting into a mental block. I have a tendency to over engineer things. Simple tricks do not always come to me right away.

Thanks for your time on this. It is much appreciated.

No problem Jean-Paul, I'm glad that it makes sense now!
