10:49 PM Triffid_Hunter: rue_mohr: only a little.. I provided their initial crude auto-placement algorithm which, despite me clearly stating that it was intentionally basic and should be upgraded/replaced asap, stuck around for years before someone actually put a better one in
10:50 PM rue_mohr: haha thats your fault?
10:51 PM rue_mohr: I always scratch my head trying to figure out why it puts parts where it does
10:52 PM Triffid_Hunter: rue_mohr: basically it just wraps an axis-aligned rectangle around all the objects, finds the biggest one, then arranges everything in a grid based on that size by distance from centre
10:52 PM Triffid_Hunter: so if you have lots of little parts and one big thing it'll put all your little things really far apart
10:53 PM Triffid_Hunter: also rotating things will affect the placement significantly as it alters the AABBs
10:53 PM rue_mohr: ah
10:53 PM rue_mohr: hmm
