Base Viewer..?

Ok ok so Im new to making systems and I can only use FLE...
I can get a system going and without crashing for the most part

But when it comes to placing the "Extras" onto bases like Shipyard things an all that Im stumped...
First off I have no clue what half of the stuff is/looks like before I put it ingame but thats another problem

When putting this things on a base how dyou know when youve gone too close or too far? How dyou know what the thing is going to look like ingame?

Ydont as far as I can see..so is there any kind of base viewer that shows you what distance to put things or what exactly happens to the thing when you change the Axis numbers?

Right click on a base and goto Edit Base Layout.

I've used to have that problem way back with FLE when i began modding.

My advice to you: Don't use it.. learn inis.

Anyway you can't really addon things to bases with FLE, you need to add them into the system file and then position them manually.

Which can be annoying....
If you find a base you like the look of in-game: take the coding for that and it's addons

The preview button is long since fixed in the current development tree. Also the edit option I mentioned allows you to add and position addons for bases.

Preview still crashes for me. And Edit Base Layout freezes up as well...

Personally I use straight math calculations to place base addons. I didn't even know about the addon editor until shsan pointed it out
