The Object Placement Tool, (OPT), is multifunctional, and can be used for placing scenery as well as creating missions.<br />
<br><br />
The OPT is installed as part of the [[SDK Toolset (FSX)]].<br />
<br><br />
The OPT is available on the FSX menu, under Tools.<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
See '''[[SDK Installation (FSX)]]''' for instructions.<br />
<br />
=== Notes ===<br />
Ensure you have the correct SDK installed to match your Service Pack level.<br />
<br />
== Useage ==<br />
THe OPT is a very capable, if somewhat unwieldy tool.<br />
=== Scenery Placement ===<br />
See [[Scenery Placement (OPT)]] - How to place scenery objects using the OPT.<br />
<br />
=== Mission Creation ===<br />
See [[Mission Creation]] - How to create missions, a supplement to the [[SDK]].<br />
<br />
== Working with the OPT ==<br />
<br />
=== Tips ===<br />
A collection of quick tips.<br />
<br />
==== Windowed Mode ====<br />
For the OPT to work, FSX '''must''' be running in 'windowed' mode.<br />
<br />
==== Object Selection ====<br />
<br />
===== Default objects =====<br />
To see the range of FSX default and Acceleration placeable objects, please see - [http://lc0277.nerim.net/sceneobjects/ Lamont Clarke's wiki - FSX default scenery objects] <<< This link is dead.<br />
<br />
===== Imported objects =====<br />
Any object imported, (custom object), will only be listed in the OPT by its GUID.<br />
<br />
You'll need to know the GUID of that object.<br />
<br><br />
'''N.B.''' Your GUID will be prefixed by a zero, '''0'''.<br />
<br />
==== Multi-Monitor ====<br />
If you have multiple monitors, drag the OPT onto your secondary monitor.<br />
<br><br />
Set your FSX to fill the screen on your primary monitor, (windowed mode).<br />
<br />
==== Moving an object ====<br />
If an unlocked object refuses to move with click-drag, <br />
you can reposition the reluctant object,<br />
with the mouse, (without click-drag). <br />
<br />
Set your viewpoint to Top-Down mode.<br />
* In the OPT window, double-click in the coordinates area.<br />
* In the FS window, single-click at the location you require.<br />
* Object will 'jump' to that location.<br />
* Zoom in.<br />
* Repeat as required.<br />
