What's the best way to do jbeam?

Should I just add nodes using notepad++, or is there a program that can do it? Or is there a better way than either of those? I'm new to creating cars and stuff, so I want to know the best way.

 

Personally, I use blender to get all the big structures roughed out, then export to a Jbeam file. Once I have that working and in game, I then manually connect all the larger parts together with notepad++.

This might not be the best way to do it so if someone has a better idea, please speak up... I like to learn and get better at what I do.

 

Notepad++
It is not the fastest way to make structures tho.
There are a few ways, try and see what suits you.

 

Uhhh...
Guys?
NodeBeamEditor?
Look it up, it definetly is the easiest way, for me at least.

 

I can't stand the NodeBeamEditor... unless there is some mystical newer version that I am unaware of, it seems to be very limited in its capabilities and often crashes on me. It is difficult to keep things organized and the camera has no freedom in the 3D space as it is stuck to the origin making it difficult to see what you are doing.

I don't hate it... really, I don't... I just think it needs a lot of improvements.
