Title: Units
Post by: seasdes on November 21, 2011, 11:32:35 AM

I am starting with Bricsturn. Is it intended that the units used be metres or millimetres. Or does it not matter.

Hi!

After installation you should have two vehicle library files in same folder as you installed the saftware. One i s metric and the other is imperial.

You can use any other unit of your own and save it as a new vehicle libray.

Thank you so much. However Bricsturn takes a long time to calculate when I change all of the vehicle parameters to millimetres.

Hm.... That's right if you use millimeter the software consider your path as very long. It's developed for meters, I'll try to fix a setting for that in next release.
