Hi sadsack,and welcome

To make a simple leg ,make a cylinder (i used 1 segment and used extrude to place the joints where i wanted them) then all you have to do is select the cylinder go into vertice mode and moove them around as needed,when you have got the shape you want hit the space bar to make copies place them at the table corners and ther you go

A table Very Happy



Not very good i no but you get the idea Wink

Maybe you should start a seperate thread for the unit-size question (how tall would a man be).

The general approach would be: everything is relative (that is: you choose how tall you want a man to be, and then just model everything else in propertion).

However, it could be darkbasic pro has some standard way of dealing with unit size (I remember seeing "everything should be between 50 and 3000 units as a rule of thumb" somewhere in the help once). Other DeleD+darkbasic user could give advise on this topic, or you could ask simply try asking the question on the Darkbasic forums.

i use db and its all just a matter of preference. Eg when making this table, it will be about a metre high or so in real life so you can decide on what 1 square in deled will be. If you decide that 1 unit=1cm then in deled you would make the table 100 units high and in db you would make your man about 180 units high. Of course this would only work if deled and db use the sam gridsize. to check this, you can make somethign in deled whcih is 100 units high and somehting in db whichis 100 units high andput them next to each other to see if they are the same size.

I know that DeleD writes it's coordinates into .x files 1:1, and I'd guess DB does the same when reading those files... I'd assume changing the scale would be a manual (post-load) action.

I'm quite sure that DBPro uses the same unit size as DeleD as I quite often use DeleD to get co-ordinates for placeing ridgid bodies. Just remember that the z-axis is inverted.

Try something like this:

- select your object (in Object mode)
- goto Vertice mode by pressing v
- then select your vertices by clicking on them (using ctrl+shift+leftmouse)

After your vertices have been selected, you can move them around as you wish.
