OK, so now that I've made a few tables I thought I'd check on some things to see if I'm accurately making my tables match the real world. ![]()
When you add a Rubber object you have a Height and a Thickness, it defaults when adding a new one to height 25 and thickness 8. My question on this is the height value is that to the center of the rubber or the top or the bottom? In measuring an actual 1" faceted post, the notch for the rubber is from 9/16" to 3/4" from the base, or centered on 21/32" and if I do my math right would put the center of the rubber at pretty close to 31 VP units.
My second question concerns the flippers. In measuring a couple of actual flippers in 70's EM cabinets this weekend the so called 3" flipper is 3" in total length (thickness of flipper rubber varies this a little), but the so called 2" flipper is actually 2" from the center of the pivot to the end of the flipper and had a total length of 2 3/8" (if I remember right, my notes are at home). So I guess my question is in VP what does the Length measurement actually refer to? From playing with it it appears the measurement in VP is from the Base radius center to the End radius center, so to get the overall length I would need to add those radius' to the Length field? So for a 3" flipper, 3x47vp units=141 VP units overall, and taking off the default base radius and end radius of 21.5 and 13 respectively, gives me 106.5 VP units for the length. Is this logic correct?
Thanks, and sorry if these details are documented somewhere, I did search, but could not find this info.
