how to do image reference in Front / Top / Side viewport?

[TheMojojoz]

When I try to freeze my reference, it disappears. How do I fix this? Thanks!

@TheMojojoz Did you uncheck "show frozen in gray" in the object properties?

Is there a way to make the image display while in wireframe mode for easier editing?

DID YOU CLICK "SHOW MAP IN VIEWPORT"

Umm dude do you have idea how to view the picture in the other viewports :)

Very easy. Make the veiwport active, and simply press F3, this makes the veiw mode Smooth + Highlights. To go back to wireframe veiwmode, simply hit F3 again to disable Smooth + Highlights. You might notice where it says your current veiw mode at the top left corner of each port, if you click this you will get a list of possible modes. F3 = toggle smooth + highlights. F4 = toggle edge faces. Gd luck with ur models =]
