Quote:What if we use a fixed offset for all wheel meshes, like 0.15 or something. The real offset would be known as 0.15*rim_width for brake positioning.

if we use a fixed offset for all wheel meshes...how about making it zero? that way it gets pushed out as far as you define the offset. and i just redo all the meshes so all vertexes are on the negative side of the x axis (some verts just barely so). we might need, eventually, a definition file for the wheels so we can check what the thinnest wheel_edge/tire they can be used on, but we will probably want one for weight if nothing else. and really so long as you don't try to text-edit a wheel too thin you'd be good. after that, i think, they should respond to offset displacement properly. you see any design flaws, or does it sound good?

i've got the rotor mesh generation almost done. still need to calculate normals, which should be super easy. also need to get some basic textures together.

btw - i'm only a so-so texture artist, and frequently find myself taking shortcuts to get things checked in. so if anyone finds them to be an eye-sore they should go right ahead and fix/tweak them.
