[Equest-users] coordinating six buildings like puzzle pieces

[Nick Caton]

I'd suggest spending a few minutes to create a common/simplified CAD file showing each shell's footprint, then reference that same file and specify from the same origin/reference point as you create each new shell (2nd screen for shell in DD wizards - choose custom footprint/zoning and reference that CAD file).

As you start each new shell - be sure to use the "via Coordinates" option to position each shell relative to the same point.

If you're consistent, they should all position tight to each other.  Check intermittently between specifying shells to save your progress and ensure everything is situating as expected - if not, figure out what you're specifying differently between the shells.

I have an interconnected series of shells that I need to position adjacent each other - is there an easier way listing exact coordinates for each?  Can they be graphically positioned?

Thanks
Mark
