Hi there,
I'm trying to create a lot with an overhanging building that i once downloaded. The problem that i get is that i have no actual clue how to do this.
When searching simtropolis and sc4devotion, the only threads i found said that you should either render your BAT off-center (not my own BAT, so no can do) or convert the building to a prop by using PIM-X.
A major problem is that i haven't got the slightest clue how to use PIM-X. I find an extremely difficult program to use, and there are (at least not for me) no decent tutorials or user guides available, so the program remains a complete mystery to me.
I could use some proper step by step guideline how to achieve this, so help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks in advance
It's actually quite possible and easy to off-set a BAT with Cogeo's excellent ModelTweaker (http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2072). And on that note the SC4PIM is also quite straightforward to use. For a lot you first create the building exemplar (aka desc file) and then make the lot, as explained here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=2306.msg68209#msg68209) and here (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=2306.msg68221#msg68221). Now, making a prop exemplar is similar to creating a building exemplar, you drag the BAT to appropriate category under the prop tree on the left hand side. Hope this helps.
Alright thanks, i'll see what i can make of it!
