Quote:Question is, is this the best way to go about it, and can I still add the gauges to the panel after scaling it down.
In all, it's really your only way, and yes you can still add the gauges.
Quote:Or is there a way to scale down the panel I have created at a later date if I can find the measurements from some where.
If you can find the measurements for the panel use the Gmax helper object Tape. Basically create two tapes, one on the X plain and one on the Y plain. Switch to the front view and align the tapes so that they form a right hand angle of 90 degrees. Set one tape to the length you need and the other to the height needed. Scale the panel to fit just inside the two tapes. If you need depth add a third tape on the Z plain and adjust its depth parameter as needed.
I hope this is clear to you. If not, let me know and I’ll send you a file to look at. I do this all the time when I set up a box to hold backgrounds for my aircraft I want to build.
