Image reference

[McclaudEagle]

Hi.

 

I'm trying to learn to use Blender to make things, and so far it's going pretty well. However, one thing is bugging me. A lot of what I want to make needs to be to scale with the real thing, however, "eye balling" doesn't really help as the measurements would likely be off. I was wondering, is there a way to bring an image into Blender and then create meshes over that to make scale creation easier?

 

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I've found out how to do it now.
