Hi everyone!
Here is a quick tip to show you how to scale a reference image at the real size (useful for architectural modeling)
The video in French with English subtitles

What a neat idea! I never really liked using blender units anyway so this is a nice substitute.
It's a nice idea for a script.
Smart method!! Thank you for sharing!
PS.: the video is in French and I don't speak French. But I understood everything. The didactic overlaps idiomatic barriers.
Glad I could help you (all of you).
Roberto, I always translate my tutorials in english, you just have to turn the subtitles on. I made it in french because there is not as many tutorials in my language as in english. Even though I speak english many of french users of blender don't understand this language.
Yes, we must to have tutorials in our own languages too! I don't noticed about the subtitles, but they did not lack, because your visual didactic are very good.
Ops, IS very good!
Worst tip I have ever seen. Great for scaling reference images that just happen to have a ruler in them.
Good enough, for example, for those that take pictures of objects to recreate it on Blender. Cientists, archaelogists and paleontologists do this procedure often.
