The Blender 3D Skills Development for Architecture course at Nottingham Trent University enables students to create architectural models with Blender 3D.

Blender 3.0 the highly anticipated next generation 3D modelling software is now available to download providing a free open source application for anyone to create both 2D and 3D content.

Or, using these models and sending them over to a 3D printer straight from Blender itself. Not bad for free software!

Below, I'll show how to add a reference for modelling in Blender and how to adjust it to work comfortably. You can follow the video, or follow written steps with images further below.
