Setting Up Blueprints

[ToddD]

Try Trinsica.com, or Suurland, 1 of those sites will give you the info. Basically you want to create planes, apply a material with you blueprint bitmap, have the material show in the viewport when you apply it. :thumbsup:

1. Crop the blueprint so you have a top/front/side/etc. Rotate the images if they're slightly off axis.
2. Make boxes to the same length and height as each of the images. Move them all the way 'back' in each view so you can still work around your origin. Apply each image.
3. If your worried about scale, set up a ruler with a set length off the blueprint, then scale all your boxes until they line up with the ruler
4. Freeze the boxes and make sure you turn off the 'Show frozen in gray' display attribute.

If you just wanted the blueprints...
