So, painfully simple question, I know, but I can't seem to find Insert>Drawing Model.
Having trouble adding the side view of my model to the drawing.

Kent, it looks like you're in the Solid Part file. You need to create a drawing ...
File --- New --- Drawing ... Then populate the drawing sheet with whatever views you require.
Ok, SolidWorks 101 here. There are computer files for Drawings, Assemblies, and Parts. Know which one your working in at all times.
To answer your original question; go to file -> make drawing from part. That will automatically open a new drawing file and import the part your currently working on. Then those tools that you can only use in drawing will no longer be greyed out.
School need to teach which one is "model" and "drawing".
I know a few that use and think they're the same.
