SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Is "Height of Mast" to the deck or the waterline?

In that case I will work on Mast Top being the default and only mark in red any exceptions.

I do need to assume the Length in the config is correct though otherwise the Height will still be off. One way of making absolutely sure is to find one of the well known ships and find its official Length. Then we can measure the length of the in-game model and that will give us one confirmed measurement to correct all the others from.

Progress on the silhouettes is slow (11 of 300 done so far) so I will concentrate on the Merchants first. I really wish the S3D export had a setting to "Apply Offset" to Objects because most of them appear at 0,0,0 and need manually putting into place in Blender.
