The only way for the 'Template' to work is to use it exactly as depicted.
The x,y,z,vector coordinates of the aft-body surface elements are based on the full height of the vehicle contour.
Changing the scale as shown for the canopy alters the pressure gradient which is protecting the boundary layer and preventing separation.
