Glad I could help guys. :)

I also just realized that I excluded pistons for whatever reason, so I'm gonna go fix that as soon as I can get to it.

Your "Chassis Length x Width" values don't match up with my personal size chart.

Examples
You have the Control Board labeled as: 1.771 x 1.714
I have it labeled as: 1.706 x 1.765
You have the Z-TEK labeled as: 2.857 x 1.714
I have it labeled as: 1.706 x 2.824

Obviously, our widths and lengths are swapped due to the orientation of the chassis/component but the values still don't add up. Back when I made my chart, I double checked all my values so I'm positive the components fit into chassis of the sizes that I have written down. Your values seem to be bigger than necessary. I converted mine out of pixels so that they would be in the same units as yours. When I converted your values back to pixels, it turned out that it wasn't such a big deal because at most you were off by two pixels.

Yeah, they aren't perfect. I tried to get them as close as possible, but I was eyeballing it. Knowing I'd make mistakes I tended to try and estimate towards being bigger so that I wouldn't end up underestimating. Even the ratio I used to convert from baseplate grid units to chassis grid units (4:7) isn't perfectly accurate.

Still, it's purpose is to try and remove most of the semi-fine guess work involved with components, and I think it has succeeded in that sense. Most people aren't even going to look at the hundredths place much when building a chassis.

Bump with a small, yet helpful, update. Check the first post.

Since I'm suffering massive builder's block I figured I'd try and get something accomplished.

I'm so horrible

The updated link on your first post says grids2.rar, but it linked to grids.rar. I fixed it so it links to grids2.rar.

What exactly did you update, aside from putting Xzibit in there? More accuracy?

Well for one I added the numbers. I also tried making them more accurate than before but I don't think it made much of a difference, if any.

Also, I decided I'd bump so I could make a mod for anyone with a resolution I didn't support in the main download and because I'm looking for some feedback if possible.

Nice work!

G.K. · « **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2011, 11:06:26 AM »

Please could you do one for 1440x900?

Trovaner · « **Reply #33 on:** June 04, 2011, 01:40:45 PM »

Couldn't you just make a resolution independent version? It would just take a bunch of [Line] codes inside of the GIB. Doing it that way would make it automatically change sizes for you. At least, thats what I did for the height guide in my sig.
