You mean like your reference images? You were trying to put refrence images in the scene and it didn't work out for you? How so?

Did you draw them in Photoshop, or by hand. I dont know of any but I might be able explain it for you.

Oh ok i've never used illistrator. But all I can say is you need to bust out that ruler and make sure everything is perfectly constant. Test it with a box, then with a box with a stick coming out just to see if your doing it right. Then go to your main object that your trying to model. You see i've done this once before but I drew it by hand making sure everything matched up. It did once I scaned it in and whatnot. Im sorry that I couldn't realy help, and that I don't know of any tutorials.

What Ive done before, and still do, is if a reference image is off, I insert a edge into the plane, and move the edge along the plane until it lines up. Make sure you add in reference point-lines in photoshop before, so all you'll have to do it line up the lines and it should be set.
