Small script I wanted to share, so you can avoid everyday hassle of everyday routine

- creates a plane for reference (100x100 ... change this to match photo proportions)
- sets length and width segments to 1
- moves it to 0,0,0
- renames it to reference
- turns the object colour to grey - easy to differentiate between reference and object you are modelling
- turns off show frozen in grey - hence you can freeze the reference, still be able to see it, and not be able to modify it, nor does it get in the way of modelling
- rotates it by 90 degrees X axis - you model in front view, later on don't need to rotate the model and reference and it's easier and more natural to orbit around the object

personal preference

- it turns on edge mode display
- it turns on shaded mode
- it turns off selection brackets
- it turns off home grid display
