    Ok guys, so, I downloaded a mod (iRetr0x DFA Pack) that includes a facelift for the Roamer, and I added a new hood to it. Pretty simple for the people that know how to do this so far. The tricky part comes now. Is there a way to change the dimensions and locations of said hood in the JBEAM file? I would try opening the DAE but it just doesn't work. I click it and it loads for a bit then nothing. I have changed size and location of a couple engine parts, but the hood as well as any body part seems somewhat confusing. If anyone knows how to accomplish via JBEAM or knows how to get me in the DAE files that would be awesome.

    It seems that this Jbeam file already has position and scale applied, you just need to change the values, I don't get what is your problem

    Good question, I do not know. I click, it shows the blue circle loading for a second or two, then nothing.

    That is great news. Would you happen to know which numbers are the ones that control the values, I have only a basic understanding of JBEAM and this file is somewhat beyond my understanding.

    You can clearly see near the top that there are "pos", "rot" and "scale" modifiers, these are the ones. Not sure why they are already used, there will be a bit of guesswork to get the correct values out of them.

    Wait a minute, no. I added the size things at the top, I remember now. But when I did that, the option for the new part didn't show up in game anymore. Any ideas?
