Edit Shape Factors using mouse
The new spinners in the 3D Shape Factors window have made it much easier to position your imported 3D shape with respect to the yellow highlight box of a Flexsim object. Also, there are things you can do when preparing your 3D shape to avoid shape factors altogether. However, have you ever wished you could edit the shape factors using your mouse right in the model view?
I have attached a model file with a modified Queue object that should give you a taste of what it might be like to edit shape factors without opening a single GUI. I have only covered x/y position and size in this example, but I think it is enough to present a concept. To edit X/Y POSITION offset: Hold down "T", left-click on the 3D shape (hold down) and move with your mouse. To edit X/Y SIZE offset: Hold down "Y", left-click on the 3D shape (hold down) and move with your mouse. Try your own 3D shape with this object and let me know what you think. Feel free to enhance the concept if you like. The code is in the Custom Draw Code (obviously not where it would be implemented). |
