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?

I had the same problem and ended up copy/pasting image paths manually

the rotoscope options of each camera.
The thing is that Softimage doesn't have an equivalent feature to Maya's
image planes. Image planes have a specifiable depth from the camera,
while
Soft's roto feature always consideres the image to be "in the back",
behind
anything else. If you need proper image planes you will need to attach
grids
to cameras manually and controll their distance with a custom param
from the
camera, or fully manually.
Buzzzt! No.
XSI has image planes with placement in depth since v6.0.
Look again at that rotocopy property page, the Image Placement options.
