Model position: Center - The model is centered along the Y axis within the stock.Model position: Offset from back side (+Y) - Specifies the offset of the stock in the positive Y direction.Depth (Y): - Enter a value to specify the stock depth.Model position: Offset from right side (+X) - Specifies the offset of the stock in the positive X direction.Model position: Center - The model is centered along the X axis within the stock.Model position: Offset from left side (-X) - Specifies the offset of the stock in the negative X direction.Width (X): - Enter a value to specify the stock width.You are presented with the following options: You can also offset the left and right sides, the back and front sides, and the top and bottom of the stock to better position your model. However, understanding what vectors and I,J,K is/are is crucial to becoming better at what I do.Fixed size box mode lets you enter precise XYZ values to specify the width, depth, and height dimensions of your stock. I usually create an alternate alignment that levels to the surface in question to help circumvent this. It seems like I,J,K becomes important when measuring angled surfaces from what I can tell. That spredsheet is VERY informative, if not a bit daunting. Thank you, Owen! I'm 34, so just young enough to rely on technology, but old enough to appreciate the time before it ruled us. I guess you'd have to be on the older side of life to truly realize how technology has made things so much quicker.Īttached is an excel document with all kinds of info and calculators for vector, bolt pattern, angle, ext. Then I got a Texas-instrument smart calculator you could store formula programs in (actually had one before a computer), then items like the attached and now engineering cadworks or internet.

I remember a time I calculated everything by the formula in a book or hundreds of pages of notes I'd taken.
