How to edit size and location of the custom board?

[Shu]

Does anyone know? I need to resize my board.

I think you cant do that now.

i've read that you could edit the savefile to add more boards or resize/move the existing boards. I just couldn't find a proper explanation.

You can move it (with save editing), have more than one board (with save editing), but you can't resize it beyond what you get with changing the table.

Could you tell me how to move the board?

It's not exactly easy to explain, especially if you don't know what you're doing, but here goes...

The values are stored as binary strings, specifically float (machine dependent size and representation). In most languages you can get these using the pack() function.

You need to open up the save file with an editor;
Search for the location where Custom_Board(Clone)
After that location:
The 5th to 8th characters are the value for the X axis.
The 9th to 12th characters are the value for the Y axis. (vertical)
The 13th to 16th characters are the value for the Z axis.

The 17th to 20th characters are the value for the rotation along the X axis.
The 21st to 24th characters are the value for the rotation along the Y axis.
The 25th to 28th characters are the value for the rotation along the Z axis.

The very center of the table is X=0, Z=0. So you can use positive or negative values to get the object where you want it to be.

Awesome, thanks mate! :D
I'll work that out.

Acually just just double checked, they're formatted as float (machine dependent size and representation) and not unsigned long (little endian byte order) (Those are for other variables).

Maybe Tabletop Simulator has updated in the years since this was posted, but since this still comes up on a search:
To Move: right click on the board, in properties deselect lock. It can now be dragged around. Lock it again once it is in the right position.
To resize: Right click on the board and select scale. Increase or decrease the size.

To at least complete the necromantic info:

For more precise resizing and placement, use gizmo. You can either enter values or use the arrows to do it.
