Mirroring 42938 - Roland Melkert - 2024-06-07
I've been trying to figure out the LDCad mirror meta parameters needed for "Car Track 16 x 8 x 2 Curve".
Normally you set a rotation point and rotate the part into its own counter part.
But I'm having problems determining that point as the part seems to be slightly off.
I think it should be half x of the highest point at the arc between the 2 red bricks.
But the two red bricks use different x values (non symmetrical?).
It should probably be close to 172 0 0, but this puts it on 320.956369 0 86 instead of 320 0 086
Is this part just not suitable for mirroring or I'm a missing something, thoughts?
