Creating a level from orthographic map

Hi guys,

I’d like to make a level from a real world location. My idea is to take an orthographic picture over a city area and start blocking out the buildings with BSP:s. I’ve tried to use the picture as a texture on a BSP plane but I can’t figure out how to make the scale correct.

For example, in the picture below, I’d like the blue line that is 194 meters in the real world, to be 194 meters in my level as well.

How would you go about to start making your level from a picture like this?
