• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

I have a rectangle that is part of my building. I want to put in a window that is ALMOST to the outter edges of the wall. My problem is, that whenever I get anywhere near the edges, it snaps to them. I can't find where to turn that feature off. Mind you, that is an amazing feature for most things.. It's hampering me in this endeavor.

Greggie,

Zoom in more.
If you have to zoom in very, very much, do not draw this extra rectangle because you will not notice it in FSX anyway.
Instead, use the pull tool to move the windowpane more to the inside.

Hello greg....

Roby is right,... you have to zoom in closer... also in GSU after you have started a model... not sure if this will help, but click on the Windows tab at the top and then Model info, then go to units... you can change the precision to 0.00m or even as tight as 0.000000m. Not sure if this will help, I haven't used it as much or adjusted it until now :p
