How do I export Rocksim fin plan points pattern?

[SteelyEyed]

Trying to export design data from Rocksim. Specifically wanting to print fin plan points data.
Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Open the finset.
At the bottom of the page is a button: Export template...
It will allow you to export a .svg file.

Once you have the .svg, you can open it in notepad, copy the text and enter into an online tool like:
https://spotify.github.io/coordinator/

After paste, select "Get Coordinates" on the left nav.

You can then select csv on the left, then click CSV on the right and it will download a csv file that can be used in Excel.


What are you going to use it for?

If you haven't already, In RockSim, go to Edit > Preferences > Miscellaneous tab. Check "Allow Template Exports". You should only have to do this once. After that you will have the Export template button.

Thanks… I feel stupid. THUNK! (hollow sound of hand hitting forehead). When I read your reply and looked for the export button, it was off the bottom of the screen on my laptop. I just had to resize the window.

Why should that ever be disabled? That seems like a weird preference.

Thanks again. I also wanted to answer the other part of your reply.

I am doing a BT-50 sized prototype of a new design that I’m working on. It will ultimately be a 4” airframe design if I make it work.

The design has multiple pods, layered fins, other unique features, making it too complex to model in Rocksim. I need to physically cut out pieces and see how things fit together. I will print them on card stock and cut them out. I already have a 3D custom nose cone being designed… if I don’t succeed, I will lower my expectations and create a simpler design that will work with the new NC.
