Hi All
I have been asked many times about what the coordinates of the walls in the 3DX Apartments (APT) are, so I figured I would write an article about it
Whats a coordinate?
Well, it's numbers that tell the game where in the game space a prop is.
They look like this:
<object>
<name>pole</name>
<posX>8.986866</posX>
<posY>3.37500143</posY>
<posZ>4.97816944</posZ>
<rotX>0</rotX>
<rotY>270</rotY>
<rotZ>90</rotZ>
</object>
This one is for a single Pole and its in APT2
The posX,Y,Z coordinates tells the game where the prop is in the game space and the rotX,Y,Z tells the game the rotation of the prop.
The game creates the same code for every prop you put in your room.
Apartment Walls
Now before we move on I want to create an easy reference to the walls of Apartment 1 and 2 walls.
These drawings (thank your Tamara) will name the walls for your reference (I hope the Modz creators adopt this as a standard for their Modz)
So when you see me talking about "Wall A2-2" you will know its Apartment 2, wall 2
The blue X is marking the Zone in points(X 0, Y 0, Z 0) and it also shows the direction in which the prop will move depending on the Positive or Negative number you use.
As we are looking down on the apartment, "-Z" is left and "+Z" is right. So if our "posZ" and "posX" coordinate were both "0" the prop would be in the center of the cross.
If we wanted to move the Prop to the Left 5 steps we would make our "posZ" a negative number.
Example "posZ -5"(Left) to move it right the number would be "posZ 5"(Right)
Coordinates for Apartment Walls
Ok so here I will list the X 0, Y 0, Z 0 of all the walls in all the Apartments.
But first, let me explain a few things.
When you are using a Modz like Lions Pole Art Creator, it has a Window that shows the Art you have uploaded to it.
Like this Apple
The Top left of the view window is the Starting point.
Because I know the what the top left coordinates are on the top left of Wall A2-1 and I used these coordinates in lions Modz. My picture appears
Now I want my Apple in the middle of Wall A2-1, So I need to move it over.
So because I need to move it in the "pos-Z" direction I will decrease the Z number I used in Lions Modz
The original Number was " Z: 4.984" and I want to move it left (remember the Apartment reference pictures above) So I will remove the "4" and make the number "Z: 0.984" in Lions Modz.
YA!!! now it's in the Middle of my Wall
Below are the Coordinates for the top left of each wall in Apartment 1 and 2.
Have fun!!!

Notes:
The coordinates listed below are for Poles only.
If you want to use other props to create your Art with you will need to find the coordinates for the prop you want to use.
