Question Base in center of mesh

[RacerX]

I am using blender with the orbiter import/export script. Also have Mesh Wizard and Orbiter base maker. I have made a mesh (planet) and I am trying to put a base on the surface. But no matter where or what I try the base is always inside the mesh and not on the surface. The base.cfg file has MAPOBJECTSTOSPHERE = TRUE. I have tried to change the x,y,z axis in blender to the center of mesh and also tried putting the x,y,z at the location I want the base but it is always inside the mesh...what am I doing wrong?

What is the defined in configuration file of the planet its radius (size), and what distance from the center of the mesh is to the place where you want the base to be?

What is the defined in configuration file of the planet its radius (size), and what distance from the center of the mesh is to the place where you want the base to be?

the cfg file radius is 50001 (just enough for OBM to see the planet)
In blender X=1.35156
Y=0
Z=0
Z is what i need to raise! But where do I set it in a cfg file for raising the elevation? I can run the scenario editor and get lat and lon. But how to raise the elevation/altitude?

Try going to Edit Mode (Tab), select all verticles (A) and move them (G or the blue/green/red arrows).

In scenarios you don't. The altitude for all landed vessels (or rather the distance from the center of the planet) is the same as the radius of the planet. If the mesh at that point is larger than your defined in planet's cfg 50001, landed vessels will be underground.

In configuration files the 2nd (Y) coordinate is for changing altitude.

You can try to move landing pads up, but it can only move with them the vessels which are landed on these pads. All other vessels landed on the planet will be 50001 meters from the center of the planet.

Well getting closer. This planet is not a sphere. So its kind of hard to get everything lined up. I wish OBM could use planets smaller then 50000m
