Hello Aleatorylamp,
I am glad you understand this business. I actually have a little trouble once in a while trying to visualize what I am about to do.'
I included a little visual explanation for the folks who are following along but may be a bit too polite to ask.
The problem with Structures is that the cross-sections are regular and many Aeroplane pieces are not so regular.
If you choose to use a Structure, the widest section will always be at the vertical Mid Point.
The cross-section will have a well defined (and unchangeable) taper.
When the real Aeroplane is not shaped this way, and it seldom is, manual adjustments must be made to make the AF99 pieces match.
Note that this image is greatly simplified because there is no consideration for making the Wireframe segments line up with each other.
- Ivan.
