Base builder tool?

robocop

I found the tutorial on how to build modular bases uses the cmps and 3dbs in the files but as the tutorial mentions, it’s very time consuming to accurately position each part of the base.

Has anyone ever come up with a drag/drop tool that would allow you to assemble a modular base in a less time consuming process?

import the meshes to any 3d program or best thing, scenery program and move them around there. afterwards just make the same position differences between the same objects in your system file.

fl explorer has a base designer, but i cant recall where it is found in the program. only used it a long time ago, i think it had some problems in older versions, so make sure you have the latest.

Correct, it’s part of FLExplorer.

It (the base construction thingy) didn’t work on my graphics card on one machine, it crashed on starting it, but on my desktop it was ok - so I could use my desjtop with FL Explorer to make a dummy system and assemble the base in it, then just copy the base components into my real system.

Its not a polished feature, needs a lot of joggling and farting about, but it’s better than eyeballing the parts into place.
