Zmodeler Problem

[Simulator]

Hi,
I have a little problem while modelling my car. My front and side blueprints line up but my top doesn't.(See picture) The prints are cut exactly and lined up but the object doesn't line up with the blueprints. Any help is appriciated.

Regards, Simulator

Well unfortunately there are lots of prints that aren't matched up. You can try to fix it in Photoshop or Paint shop pro. :?

Just fix with your eye.. Refpics is the way to go, since no print matches exactly.

Indeed, while working on my (116) Nuovo Giulietta i found it out the hard way.
But i have some magazines which give an in depth view of that car.
Just as NightEye says, ref. pics are the way to go.

Even better (which is my case) is to have a scale model or the real thing.
Or a friend which owns such a car. :wink:

hmmmm, how can i explain this whis my bad english, *g*...

do you see the button, with the magnifying glass + a hand + blue.

press this and you can move your blueprint in every view to right position :wink:

Thanks for the help. But not all prints don't match up. If you look at the Awses (Cant match the name?) tutorial, his prints line up perfectly. I just don't get it. And also, I am never good with ref pics. It will probably take time to get used to using them.

Not sure if this helps you, but here it goes.
I've noticed with ZModeler, that if you zoom view enough, blueprint seems like it's moving, but if you zoom slightly out everything goes back to normal. This feature seems to depend on screen resolution used, and occur especially if you blueprint images are not equal width&height.

I think blueprints size have to be a multiple of 8 i.e 512*512 or 512*256 otherwise zmodeler strech them and in option 3d view device select your video card driver not 3d and hal (see on the pic).
hope it helps
