Hello Forum,

i want to insert a Backgroundpicture into a XY-Pad. I can select a file but nothing happens.

It would be nice to have a Plan of the Stage as Background of the XY-Pad.

Max,

As I told you before you are in a 3D environment. I'm quite sure you will be very disappointed with the outcome. You won't be able to pinpoint your heads to the position you think they will be...
I think you are seeking some kind of visualisation while pre-programming your show?
Search this forum for visualisation solutions
or have a cup of thea and get acquainted with Massimo's video #7 -> therein he shows how to use heads (EFX) and a visualiser.

(the problem you will face with XY-pad and background is that when you 'zoom' ergo you limit the XY-pad, the image should be scaled and this is not functioning)

No,

The image will stay the same whatever you do on the pad.

Just try it and see for yourself
