Re: Understanding Furniture Location fields The furniture location is displayed as the center of the furniture object. So if you set the X and Y of an object to 0,0 it displays with the center at the 0.0 position. In other words: an object with width 100 and depth 100 with location X,Y as 0,0 will have it's top left corner at -50,-50 and it's bottom right corner at 50,50. The object location is not related to it's position on a wall, it's independently related to the plan/grid. Wall dimensions are measured using the center line of the wall and start-end points of the wall as is explained in this forum dozens of times before. It's a design choice to allow other calculations and placements and works fine if you know it does use that center line. My advise is to start with a wall with round numbers (W10, L1000, H500) and an object with round numbers (100x100x100) and learn what the coordinates are when you place the object against the wall. Exact placement can be done by setting the X.Y, not moving by cursor or mouse. So place the wall at startpoint 0,0 and endpoint 500,0. Then see what the object coordinates are when you place it against the wall. Observing will teach you how cordinates relate to the object position. The round numbers derived from 100 will be easy to recognize. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
