I am not a Max user and I need some help. I am used to Solid Works so I have some understanding of 3d.

I have to create a building using simple primatives. I have sketch of what the building looks like and what I would like to do in import the image into Max and sketch over top of it. I tried using the viewport background but that was very dissorienting.

Is there away to create a plane and import the image onto that and sketch off that plane?

I attached the image.

I appreciate any help and wet-nursing.
