Which part is your question?

Hexagon help documentation (help in menu at top)

page 281, under "2: The Scene Properties Tab."
6th bullet down in the paragraph shows this process.

Works like this....

Click the little "..." to the side of the grid you want to put your image on, select the image from your drive
check the little box to make the image appear
un-check the box to have the grid
box checked = picture
box unchecked = grid.

This will help.

For this kind of modeling, edge modeling or boxmodeling (try to do a search first, you will find some answer I think!)

Done but the image that I have selected (from the reference folder) did not appaired , in the workspace.

Lets see a screen cap of your properties panel and workspace.

Check and make sure the image isn't 25 megabytes or anything like that too eh? ;)

No it is one of the photo ( the faces) references on the Hexagon folders.
Jpg , very small .

Try Squaring the image (I made this one 500x500) and reset your preferences if you have to. Sometimes they can stick.

I use materials to put my image on a plane sized appropriately for the image I am using. I can then control its transparency, quickly turn it on an off, and position it where I want.

Allright! Mr. Ed.... a cool idea

thanks

The cool thing with that method i use for a while is that you can have an unlimited number of blueprints, instead of being stuck with the traditional 3 references images using in background.

Having front/rear, and top/bottom views is no more a problem. you can also create several sets of blueprints, some with all the internal parts, the others with all the external parts for example. You group them by type, and hide/unhide them when needed
