Blueprints Not Lining Up Correctly [Picture Inside]

[Anonymous]

This is the first time I have had this much trouble with blueprints. I downloaded the blueprints for a Cobra Helicopter, and the side and front blueprints are not lining up correctly at all. I am not sure if this may be an issue with the actual blueprints themselves, or something I may be doing incorrectly. Below illustrates the problem, the green and red lines show areas where the front and side blueprints do not line up at all. Here are the blueprints I am using, I cropped both the front and side blueprints from the top and bottom most point. http://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprints/modernplanes/bell/26473/view/bell_ah_1w_supercobra/




Here are shots showing the plane dimensions and the dimensions of the actual file to show they are set up correctly.

Rather than messing around with using uvw-mapping and/or offsets in the material editor to try and align this up. I would simply correct this in an application like photoshop and then you do not need to touch 3dsmax. I have attached an example.

Blakestone, thank you for your response I appreciate it. Besides the grid ruler what other tools did you use to accomplish this? I am new to photoshop, my apologies.

Assuming you have Adobe Photoshop open...

1. Select the Move Tool = (V)

2. Select the Layer you wish to manipulate = in my example its Layer 2

3. Tick the box at the top = Show Transform Controls
- you will see 8 small cubes around the edges of your image

4. Drag the edges to scale your Layer 2 to the size you are after
