7.6: Zero-Point Offset

Building
an airplane with multiple wings makes it sometimes desirable to shift the airplane's zero-point as a whole.
In the following a function is described, which makes this possible. Below the 2D-graphic you find a button 'Shift ZP'.



Click this button to open a new window.



With the Up/Down-buttons you can shift the airplane as a whole around its zero-point with mouse clicks.
There is a pair of buttons for each axis (X,Y,Z).
A click on the right mouse button pops up a menu to set the increment between 0.001m and 1m.

The two following pictures illustrate this function.
In the first picture the position of the zero-point is located in front of the leading edge of lower wing.
The second picture shows a zero-point which was shifted in the X- and Z-axis. It now lies between both wings.
