My halfsheets dont work...they dont attach. always showing up as red. Any ideas...?

Urjak · « **Reply #1 on:** November 11, 2008, 05:38:50 PM »

Attaching them anywhere, or only to the baseplate?

Only to the baseplate.

Inf, the collision meshes of some components actually stick below the chassis. So check this by just removing some already installed components.

Also, make sure you're using the correct attachment point.

Inf did you find the special AP? in the middle of the halfsheet, there are 2 AP's, one used for attaching to the baseplate.

and for some unknown reason you can't put it under an angled top plate or under very small baseplates.

Madiaba · « **Reply #6 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:01:53 PM »

Huh, I assumed Inf. knew that...

Sage · « **Reply #7 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:12:59 PM »

talking to him, he said he tried it with an empty chassis.

Madiaba · « **Reply #8 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:26:59 PM »

That's weird, but I know that there are irregularities in the chassis too.

Somebody · « **Reply #9 on:** November 11, 2008, 06:40:20 PM »

There should be another point on the big titanium sheet to attach it to the baseplate.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #10 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:21:44 PM »

To some of you: I am not that dumb, I know how to attach components.

Madiaba: Ive tried it with various empty chassis before, and it didnt work on any.

Somebody · « **Reply #11 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:44:48 PM »

It hasn't been working on mine (most of the time) either.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #12 on:** November 12, 2008, 04:32:36 PM »

Well its not working at all.

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:39:32 PM »

Am I mistaken? is this not technical support?

ACAMS · « **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:57:28 PM »

I don't think titanium sheets, or half sheets are designed to attach to the base plate.

Madiaba · « **Reply #15 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:30:11 PM »

Inf, send me both your bot and the gmf of the half-sheet and I'll look it over.

Halfsheets clearly are.

Madiaba; I will send you my .gmf, because the problem is universal.

ya i have this problem off and on depending on day. i have no clue what caused it.

Is the error you're getting at the bottom of the screen, "Baseplate components must fit inside the chassis"?

I hate that error. I don't know how to bypass it. It happens if you try to attach a baseplate component on a chassis that's too flat (like at the front of a wedge, or else just on a really flat box).

You should be able to attach half sheets to a tall box.

Sorry for the big bump, but I just tried this and it worked.

I adjusted the height such that I was able to put a battlepack vertically. I was then able to put a half-sheet under. But when I slided the chassis down by even just one pixel, I can't attach the half-sheet (nor a vertical battlepack).

Not sure if this works for you guys, though.
