== Side View == | |||
Aligning the side view can be a bit more tricky since it does not have a center line and may not have any other reference line. We usually want the fuselage frame members (formers) to be vertical, as these sometimes correspond to internal structures, as well as paint lines. For the Tutor, it looks at first glance that we could use the stripe down the side of the Snowbirds aircraft as a reference, however it is actually not perfectly perpendicular to the formers. In this case, I will use try using the ground lines under the landing gear and then verify the formers are vertical. I will straighten the image using the Straighten and Crop tool again. The rectangle select tool is very handing for giving both vertical and horizontal line references, and looks like the formers are now vertical. | |||

Which gives us a straightened side view. | |||

Before moving on to comparing against a reference image, lets move some of the cross section references inside the fuselage area so they don't get cropped off later. You can copy/paste them and then use the arrow keys with the move tool to move only on one axis. We'll also take this opportunity while we are manually editing to clean up the extra drawing lines. | |||

There is no need to check for symmetry for the side view, so lets move on to verifying the accuracy against a reference image. Import the reference image as a new layer and move and scale as necessary to align it with the drawing. Here we can see the same nose issues we saw in the top view, but also see some canopy and exhaust issues. We will make note of these for later and keep the image as a layer in the master copy so we can show it again when we are working on these areas. | |||
