Sorry for this simple question, but which is the best way to setup references in layout (sketches, blueprints, ecc...) maintaining the correct aspect ratio of all plane.

I want to be more clear, how can I achieve a similar result to KavinA car tutorial setup start with correct proportion. In particular I'm trying to model a Porsche carrera GT from photos but after Photoshop manipulation and correct alignment I have some problem in maintaining exact proportions.

Thanks in advance, I hope this question isn't so banal. Maybe today I'm out of my head.

well I am not entirely sure what you are asking but...

what I always do is take my picture put it in the material, then open it up to get the exact resolutions. and then set my plane to that exact size.

hope this helps.

no refrence is gonna be perfect you also have to use your head.
