For some reason the program won't let me enter fractions of an inch only in full inches. If I enter fractions of an inch it triggers an alert. Is it where I'm starting my calculations causing the problems??? Thanks!

Can you give me an example. A link to your model and which values create the alert would be useful for me to track down any issues quickly.

So I started by setting my wheel, tire and kingpin settings. From there I went to setting the chassis and control arms. The problem starts when I set the camber at -1 and I get an alert with every setting from there on. Also I can never get the right ride height to stay the same as I'm making changes, it should be 7.75" and distance from LCA to UCA should be 9.5" or so. Thanks for the help! //www.racingaspirations.com/mods/bqsglp2q

//www.racingaspirations.com/mods/bqsglp2q is set to private. Click the person icon on the toolbar so it becomes two people or the globe and I'll be able to view it.

I still can't access that model but I did have a look in the database and found one named BabyGrand. If you get a chance can you double check that the privacy changes saved.

The measurements you have may not be 100% so I find it useful to enter the measurements as best I can using the forms (as you have done) and then use drag and drop to fix any problems.

Drag the chassis lower control arm down to set the correct ride height then drag the chassis upper control arm to the a position whereby the UCA length is correct and the chassis height vertically or distance between the UCA and LCA is correct.

Let me know how you get on.

Ok 3rd times a charm -hopefully, Switched it to globe icon. I remeasured the spindle (off the car) and it was off in two spots which would be part of the problem. But still have the dimensions wanting a whole value (ie 9 or 10) in some places.

I've had a look at your model and changed a few of the form values and from what I can tell this is problem you're having:

1. Open the form to enter dimension from vehicle
2. Select the field named "KP / spindle offset"
3. Use the up or down arrows to change the value

Result. The value increments and decrements by 1.

Workaround: Type in the exact value you want. 8.11, 7.58. After saving the value will snap to the nearest 1/8th.

Does the above describe the symptoms?

That sounds about right. But it seems like it always wants a whole number (8 or 9) not 8.125. Just got to the point were I ignored the alert and entered the actual measurements.
