I assume you mean the image you load as background? Then the answer is no, you need to rotate the image before you load it in GMax.

Thanks Arn, that is what I thought. The trouble is you lose the image quality when rotating...oh well...ThanksShez

I find I tend not to use the viewport background tool, I prefer to paste the background image on a box. Then I'll detach the polygon side, and move it axially where I want it. If you did this, you could certaintly rotate the polygon.Ps...to make it work like the viewport background, you uncheck in properties for the polygon "show frozen in grey", and then freeze that polygon.Bob B
