Hi,

I woud like to know how to lock an Orthographic Camera so you can't rotate it. I've found the option to create an Orthographic Camera in the Viewport menus and by rotating and moving it onto place I was able to create a bottom view and add an image plane. As a Maya user I kind of found it strange that you can rotate a newly create ortho view!

Thanks & Regards,

Colin

you don´t create a new view you create a new camera! and of course you can move that camera around... "orthographic" means here the way the camera works.
if you want an image-plane under your object why not create a plane and map an image onto it? when not setting the object´s (not the plane´s!) opacity to 1.0 you can see your image through it.
does that help?
