The short answer is: well, yeah.
I typically only use other pieces to measure parts. Having at least two of
the part your modeling is very useful -- you can check different sections
against each other, to see how they compare.

For flat printed elements, it's usually easy enough to scan the image, and
overlay it with a grid. So you don't have to do as much eyeballing.
