Pre-Fab Supports

[TTD03]

Hi all, I know NL2 comes with the typical Pre-Fab supports. My question, how do you add all Pre-Fab supports to a coaster in one shot? I think I know how to do it with wodden supports but I am not sure with steel supports. Any help on how to add all the supports in one shot for steel and wooden would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Use the PFM feature.

Why would you even want to do that? Custom supports overall would look better. Also, just place a pre-fab then atomize it so you can edit it. That's how I learned how supports work.

^^Thanks Sauron, will try it when I get home later.
^ Goku, because sometimes I make a coaster that I am not planning on releasing, and am feeling too lazy to custom support it, so I wanted to know how to add all Pre-Fabs in one shot so I can continue my laziness. [:D]

I think that the new Prefabs are much more usefull than in NL1.
Combined with the fact that you can edit them makes that you can actually
use them a lot more now

You're probably wondering why you haven't found the PFM feature yet.

PFM = Pure F**king Magic

To be fair, I certainly recall this being touted as a feature at one point. It seems logical to me that if it can be done to a reasonably well degree with wooden supports, then it should be able to get the BASIS of a steel support structure that needs to be adjusted or flanged or what have you.... but no, PFM is right, for the moment.

Lol I have slacked off and never got around to it.
Now I can see there is no way to do it.
But I agree, if Wooden supports can be done, why not steel?

I agree, you should be able to set what prefab you want to use, and set how far you want them spaced and WALLA!!! you should post that in the wants topic
