Woah, thx Luc! That is...infinitely intuitive. To the power of -1 so,
actually.
Time to write an "improvement suggestion" on the beta list...
My apologies, how this feature works is a little baffling due to
something that might be a bug,
You turn roto into "Fixed" mode, then enable "view in all cameras"
Now, when you view the roto in other cameras than the current , it
will cut through geometry. It's a proper image place in space with a
z position you can adjust.
Why it doesn't cut through geometry in the current camera, I have no
idea. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense - it wouldn't surprise me
if something broke it.
every viewport has its own copy "top" "right" and "front" camera, so
you could use one that you don't use to setup the image plane.

What? Where? I don't see it. The only thing I could find was the
setting for
"fixed to camera" (the point of which I don't get because the moment the
camera moves the image plane moves out of camera), that also reveals
parameters for X,Y,Z placement, but what is the required setting to
have the
image plane cut through visible geometry or even have it entirely in
front
of it? It still seems to be "behind" all scene geometry no matter what I
dial in for the Z parameter, or am I having display driver issues?
Copy/paste from the help files:
Attached to Camera
Displays the image in the background of the camera no matter how the
camera
is panned, zoomed, etc. This option is useful for matching animation
with
footage of live action. This is the default for images in perspective
views
like Camera and User.
If you need to pan, zoom, or frame while keeping the registration
between
the rotoscoped image and objects in the scene, activate Pixel Zoom mode
(the
magnifying glass on the viewport's toolbar).
Note that Pixel Zoom does not work with other camera navigation,
including
orbiting and dollying.
Fixed
Displays the image at a fixed location in scene coordinates. This
option is
useful for modeling from reference images. This is the default for
images in
orthographic views like Front, Right, and Top.
Did I miss something?
