Building Large and Shrinking it Problem!!!

[Alliehotass]

Ive been building a long time in this game. Once you could build Large, ie a Mixer, Bike wotever and shrink it to 1:1 Scale. Why?...because building large makes it alot easier to get close to work on small details etc. Everything worked fine and i have things i have made still that are just fine....Until now!

For a while now any Text you "shrink" from large is all messed up.

I made a mixer a while ago with text on it, shrunk it to 1:1 and everything was fine, text was exactly the same as it was LARGE Scale.

Now the same procedure creates text that is all messed up and out of alignment. ie the Mixer shrunk to 1:1 Scale is all fine except for the text which is now Wak!

Anyway to avoid this problem? A workaround because for sure tha Devs arent going to fix it just like they havnt fixed the floor holes that are created with small details.

this happens when the objects get smaller than a certain value, things get messed up. But I have experienced it since a long time.
Maybe in your old builds the critical size was not reached

Hey Hey Diana...my old builds are of the exact same size. Im very exact on sizing things. Its just the smaller you go the more they get messed up as you can start to see them getting messed up at slightly larger sizes. Everything looks just fine in the Editor its just when you then load it.

Yes, it's SO annoying
The problem is, when you load a file (and an object) into the editor, it only reads a certain amount of digits after the dot of the size value and cuts the rest.

Hey Hey Alexa Queen of Fonts \O  

K Im making a Mixer, wilps eets a V2.0 new and improved for my New V2.0 Turntables and Mixer Setup. Tha Ref Pics ive used are Below and under that is my build.

I want Text that is realistic to tha Ref Pics that can be shrunk down....without becoming wrecked...but as Diana said that seems unavoidable. Anyways ill try and come up with sumting ah guess. And TY Alexa you do real good work.

My Build..these are Giant Size at tha moment so text looks as it should, once shrunk down to 1:1 tha text will get all jank and wreckereds.

I could probably make the Pioneer font.... but unsure how it would fair when shrunk

No not sure who shrunk that font, but they did not do it justice,  I can shrink better than that even on a bad day

LOL Yeah ah seen that Cash Register and that was totes messed up too. Eet also depends how tha fonts are made, i made real simple straight lined fonts. Fonts made with a bunch of tiny curves etc are alot worse when shrunk.

Heres the Old Mixer Shrunk, Text is fine...this was Nov 2021.
