In Zmodeler there is a small square on the top left of any view then right click on it. You will see "background" word then click on it and choose "image". Now you can choose your image.

I faced the same problem fist time I used zModeler.

RLE is Run-Length-Encoding, which is an option on saving, it compresses the data and makes the texture look like that if decompression is not supported by the program it is opening. If this is not the issue then it could be you are using the software renderer or your images aren't one of the following sizes:

256x256
512x512
1024x1024
2048x2048
4096x4096

That's what I'm doing, its just that the blueprint doesn't show up.

And A320, what you're saying is that the image has to be square? If yes, than I know what to do.

EDIT: Hey guys! ive tryed the blueprints 1024x1024 and it works!
Thank you guys!

EDIT 2: Sorry for second edit

, the 3D view isnt showing anything, its enabled, and for some reason its white, not the usual blue. Im really starting to think that its too good to be true for a person like me.

3D view won't show the blueprints in 3D, it only shows objects. Initially you don't have any objects in Zmodeler with only blueprints loaded. When you'll make a surface, it will be shown in the 3D view.

Background colour of 3D view can be changed to anything by clicking on 3D > Background > Color, I've kept it black because black looks good.

I have had that white problem and it is so annoying to fix it do this:

Background>Image>Load Image (put a bluyeprint there)
Background>Image>Show Image (makes it blue again)
