Bottom/Top Ratio
« on: June 03, 2016, 03:57:03 PM »
What is the significance of the "Bottom/Top Ratio" for a megatree?
I've looked at the last manual that I can find (.31), but found nothing.
This is for version .34.

Thanks

edit - I found the manual for .31.  Still no mention of it that I can find.

For the "round" style trees, it's the ratio of the radius of the top circle to the radius of the bottom.   If your "topper" that holds the strands is relatively small, you would increase it (would make the top circle smaller compared to the bottom".   If you have a wide topper, decrease it. 

It's just an appearance thing, doesn't really affect much of anything other than how the tree is drawn.

I will add this to the next version of the  manual. Did not know what it meant.
