<< Does this version of the file include the images?
Of course yes! We are in 2015! ;)
And yes there is a little problem with the side views! In height and weight ...for the reactor (?) and also for the top of the cabin!!!
So you must adapt it! Maybe original image was deformed on the 2D prog ...

Probably the images are not accurate - if the images are just kind of quick sketches that have differences between them then there won't be any way to align them 100%.
They need to be accurate views of the same exact object if you want them to align properly.
Thank you very much for helping me understand better the process of aligning images. I agree with you that this particular 3view is nou accurate enough and I will look for a better one
Hi Bill,
is that a Gulfstream G500/G550? Otherwise I converted( to PDF via Photoline) and imported the SVG-file from this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulfstream_G550#Specifications. These are actually all unconnected curves, no tracing necessary. I grouped the curves and named them after their initial view, so front, side and top. Might be of some help, i dunno.
Thank you very much for your input. I found it very interesting. I am not sure that I no what an SVG file, or how you obtained it, but your geometry matches much better than the 3 view that I had.
