Marking a Freeform Conveyor
A freeform conveyor is made of any number of straight and curve sections. is marked by one SimItemBlock, at the beginning of each section. The length of the section will be determined by the beginning of the next section, or an END marker.
Because SimItemBlocks are always coplanar to the XY plane, the tilt angle is also defined by the location of the next conveyor.
Positioning
Each block is placed at the beginning of the section in the centre of the belt. The end of the section is determined by the block marking the beginning of the next conveyor or and End marker.
Rotation
Enter the direction of the conveyor on the XY plane in degrees between 0 and 360 degrees.
- Rotation 0 is parallel to the X axis, towards increasing x coordinates
- Rotation 90 is parallel to the Y axis, towards increasing y coordinates
