Hi all, i'm looking for any tips and or advice on placing components with spot on accuracy. This being very important when placing drive motors and or duel weps.

At the moment i use the measure component. is this the best way or is it down to eye jujment?.

what do you use?

Thanks, Slip

The EYE.

the eye mostly. but what helps is to zoom in while in the chassis tab then switch back to the components tab, and without touching the black square, go pick out your component. once you click attach, you can then go in the black square without it zooming out.

The ruler is useful if your chassis is a weird shape and the grid boxes don't line up with the edges. But in most cases the grid is accurate enough. It's easiest to use from a complete top-down perspective.

Top Down works best for me...

Ive edited the "measure" tool and made it a little more accurate and clear,

ORIGINAL

EDITED

I don't find this perfect, however it does help to gain accuracy.

Send it to click, it might be good for DSL 3.

Very nice.

Naryar · « **Reply #13 on:** January 21, 2009, 11:02:25 AM »

It's way better than the original - and yeah, i agree with S32.

Would edit it to uber prefection if that was asked. It would be an Honor.

Another addition to accuracy. (if using stock)

Ive added a line pointed out by the red arrow. moving the slider gives you the minimum height for a z-tek motor :)

Measure line for chassis fitting a Z-tek

Just move the slider to that line and you have the perfect height!

This is just beta. More time i could add more precise lines with Text!

Sweet.

I don't know why nobody has done this before. It's brilliant.

Wow, how come is it that people never think of these simple things.
