can you move weapons and modules under sections

Post by hazelwooder »

can you place sections over modules/weapons in this version, or move move modules/weapons under sections.

if so does anyone know how to do this?

You parent the weapon to a section that is below the section you want to cover the weapon/module with and press 'w'.

To be more specific,
1. add the weapon or module to a section or parent the section to the weapon/module
2. select the module and press "W". This sets the weapon/modules depth equal to the section to which it is parented. The weapon/module will stay at the same depth as the weapon, so changing the section's depth changes the weapon/module's depth accordingly. The weapon/module will always appear on top of the section to which it is parented.


If you want it to be under a section, just put the section you want to be above it above it and place it at a lower depth value. The weapon/module will appear under that section, but above the one to which it is parented.

For future reference: F1 to access the help menu would have answered questions like this, as well as the attached forum documentation. Granted you didn't know where to look for the help menu but now everything you need should be easily found. Good luck!
