Hey Kareem, Yes adding a background does help a LOT! It's as if you have a small picture with outlines and you fill in the colours with crayons when we were small. You add background images to the views to set your outlines and shapes of your model, For example take this model i'm working on now. I've used the background images to help me set the outlines of the car, otherwise it'll be pretty impossible to create and even if it did, it'll take for ages. Using the background images helps us to decide when to stop,expand, connect, create and see how our model is doing. Imagine for example building something out of your vivid memory which can't be at all accurate. If there are any more questions I'd be more than happy to answer Have fun Tarek
