That did the trick. Thanks so much Chris!

I was using 2-3 curves with some glow effects. When i opened the photoshop file, the adjustment layers were there but without effects. As a workaround, i saved my curves settings in AE as .acv files and imported them inside photoshop on a new adjustment layer . But shouldn’t effects like curves get imported without having to go through this workaround process?

No worries Ron. I myself have faced similar problems while trying to align blueprints and its all because of the help I’ve received on forums like this, that I’ve been able to solve them. Just trying to give back. If u face any further problems, do let me know. I’ll try and put up a video demonstrating the idea.

Yes thats correct. Just make sure that when you are cutting out individual views in photoshop, cut out the exact size that you need.
For example if this is the blueprint,
then the side view should be
Notice how i have cropped just the pixels i need (edge to edge) and no extra white space. Do the same thing while cutting out all the other views and if the blueprints are perfect then it will get aligned beautifully using the process i described 🙂

I think that the following steps are the best way to get blueprints aligned:-
1. Make sure you have found accurate blueprints.
2. Use a program like photoshop to cut out each view as a separate rectangular picture.
3. Put the appropriate pictures in their respective views inside cinema 4d
4. Use a cube primitive to align blueprints.
5. Start with the side view: Use scale operation on the cube to align it perfectly to the side view
6. Go to the top view: Use scale operation on the cube again to align it perfectly to the top view.
7. Once you have done 2 views, you cannot touch the cube anymore. So now you go to the front view and scale down your picture uniformly(NOT THE CUBE). If the blueprints are perfect you will see that the image will scale down to fit the cube. At max, you may need to offset the picture by some pixels.
8. Repeat step 7 for the rear view.
