BC\_335.31-0.29 Filament 9  lies right on the physical galactic midplane. The background is a GLIMPSE Spitzer 8 $\mu\textrm{m}$ image. The dashed line is color-coded by \citet{Dame_2011} LSR velocity and indicates the location of the physical galactic midplane. The solid colored lines indicate $\pm$ 20 pc from the galactic midplane at the 3.2 kpc distance to BC\_335.31-0.29, filament 9,  assuming the candidate is associated with the \citet{Dame_2011} Scutum-Centaurus model. The squares and diamonds correspond to HOPS and MALT90 sources, respectively. The label "with tilt" indicates that both the Sun's 25 pc elevation above the IAU mid-plane and the small tilt of the plane caused by the offset of the Galactic Center from the IAU (0,0) have been accounted for in this view. A closer look at BC\_335.31-0.29 filament 9  can be seen in the inset.
