If you have x, y, z position info, I can use AutoCAD to place them precisely and then give you any kind of view that you want in 3D.
I've already made a ACAD drawing of the positions of the battlestars based on the top down drawing located here:

And using the Z info you gave earlier, I've moved them up and down accordingly. I know you said the Z data wasn't accurate, but you'd get that info, when you do, I'll update the drawing. Tell my what views you want, and I'll pop out some pics for you. If anyone wants this ACAD drawing I have, I'll be happy to provide it. I can give you .dxf or .dwg, your choice.
Also, I'm a pretty decent programmer too, I could port any VB code to c/c++ if anyone wants it in that form.
