Mass mode in vehicle editor

Frame and mass display

To see what you are doing better, you can enable show massesshow frame to display coloured boxes corresponding to object masses. For more control over this display mode, use the buttons on the bottom right corner of the editor: frame, masses, and w (for wheel masses).

Available controls

Scale frame mass allows you to scale the mass of all frame tubes uniformly, which can help get the total mass to your general target mass. You should then fine-tune the mass and weight distribution by editing tubes manually.

If you enable Specify fuel tank size, you can choose its maximum capacity in litres; its mass will be updated accordingly.

Suspension mass constant lets you scale only the mass of the vehicle's suspensions, without affecting anything else.

Statistics

The bottom part of this editor mode gives you the total mass, weight distribution, and position of the centre of gravity.
