Ok found the viewer file. Can you tell me what a bounding box is, and how do I adjust it. In the viewer mine are not placed correctly. Instead of being even and encompassing the ship, they are centered but facing up and down.

I have included an image.

Yuck, use the hex or square instead and turn off the centering lines. You'll get a much better idea of scaling and centering problems that way.

I don't know how to turn on the hex thing. I am getting the firing arcs down though. (Thank you.)

About that bounding box.... what the hell is it, and do you know how I can adjust it? Could it be for the shields???

I have discovered that with some models the X Y and Z are different.

For the ones I am using, the Z = forward and back. The X = left and right, and Y = Up and down.

Hit "H" twice to get the hex.
The bounding box is based on the model's dimensions and spatial coordinates. Haven't a clue if the game actually uses it.

The first two ships in your pic, did you rotate them in your modeling program or in the XFileClasses file?

The hex is just to help show scale. It's size is constant so I use it to compare a new model to the same class of stock in order to get my new one to be of a similar size.
