Orbits of dobule planets

Post #1by NuclearVacuum » 25.10.2008, 20:00

There is no orbital diagram of a double planet system going around its star. There is an orbit for the double planets around themselves, but none for around the star. What is the deal with this?

When does this version come out? And was my explanation clear enough?

I might be wrong but I think the latest SVN builds found on cartrite's site is the current v1.6 in progress.

Hello

I don’t understand. :roll:
I am very lucky, but whatever the version that works with me. :mrgreen:
pluto-charon.jpg

For example here is a screenshot of Pluto selected with its orbit in red. The Orbit of the couple Pluto-Charon is drawn in blue. If you want, you can select directly Pluto-Charon by typing its name and even mark it (Ctrl-K, Ctrl-P).

To be shown, don’t forget to select dwarf planet’s orbits in the render options menu.

I do have double planet orbits selected and the orbit NEVER shows up. I can type in the pluto-charon or select it by hitting 9, it doesn't matter. The orbit never ever shows up. :(

That did it thank you. I noticed adding the lines
Visible true
Clickable true

Allows the other double planets I have show up too. :)
