How to edit ring properties
« on: April 20, 2011, 06:51:05 AM »
Hi all,

I was wondering if their is any way to edit planets rings when they are already placed. I noticed one they are deselected the cannot be selected again.

Is their any way to slect them again? ???

Thanks Stevodoran,

I've been wanting to rethink the interface for creating and editing rings for some time now.

Here's the best current work around (as of 2.0.16):
You can select the planet again, then add a ring, then click the 'X' delete button twice to remove the new ring and then the old ring. Then you can add a new ring to your liking.

(which is not an ideal solution)

How would you imagine that it might work? Or how would you like it to work?

I think that it should work by making the ring a group, and you could edit that group.

I was thinking an extra tab next to the main properties, Physical properties and the Dynamic properties. Not sure if its that good but its an idea.

Also the ability to stack rings. I couldn't figure out how to do it like in US1.
