Oil Rigs Z Values

[Bigjoe11a]

Zak, I need the Z Values for your oil rigs

Thanks

Use the 3d view in the editor to set the pieces to their exact height. Somewhere there should be a list of the z-values for all the questions you have, we'll see if we can try to lacate them for you.

Ok, thanks

[Bigjoe11a]

Do you mean 3d wire frame, sorry I have no idea on how to use that.

[ZAK]

Here a Example Based on the c202m02 Island terrain

Oilplatform on the Water:

Ponton High
Z 20

all4 Strut
is Z19

Offshore Oil Platform Main is
Z 16

and the Oiltower is

Z16

Ok, and I'm using ZOO. I wish I had a list

Thanks

You should learn to use the 3D wireframe view. With that you don't need to know any Z values. I've made quite a few maps and couldn't tell you one Z value in C4 or BHD.

Well is there a manual on that. So I can read up on it. I saw that 3d frame. I didn't know what I was looking at. At first

Truthfully the 3D wire frame for C4 is one of the awesomest (If thats the right word) tools this editor has to offer for the placing of items. Though it might seem a little complicated at first it is relatively easy and as I said very useful and time saving.

I believe all the hot keys for it are listed in the manual, its been a couple of years since I seen it (lol) but in the back of my mind I could have sworn it covered the 3d Wireframe.

I know that some really talented people spent a great deal of time putting the C4 manual together and hopefully its purpose is to help for all the questions you have though I'm sure they have all been covered in one post or another - seems I remember asking almost the very same questions a million years ago...but asking question is what we're here for so please ask on.

You must not had a list, this come all from alone. In DF2 and LW/TFD is this all Heavy as in BHD or C4.
I Wish BHD/C4 have the 3d View from NILE :spin: :spin:

I don't know, It in my list of terrians. It's a small L shape inland with all water all a round it. I just set the z value to 10 for boats and 11 for any thing else I wanted to put on it. thats seems to be working. I just don't know how to setup an oil rig.

Please read my other posts. I still have some questions not answered yet

Oh, and does any one know where I can get 3D studio Max. I can only find it in a bundle package. I just want the program, thats it
