This is an Excel 2010 Spreadsheet.

The Object Rotator Spreadsheet is an essential tool for the route builder to calculate qdirection() values. NOT for noobs: It requires a very clear understanding of editing world files by hand as well as the meaning of position() and qdirection() values. If you've got that down pat then this spreadsheet is for you.

The zipped spreadsheet is a modified version of the original. The Line Up tab has been changed to make entry and results appear within the same view which makes iterative calculations vastly easier. There is a new Tab, Bulk Loads, that is a poor-man's Gantry method for things like a short fence line or a series of light poles -- things that might not be parallel to track.

To use Bulk Loads, enter the data for the first placed object in the Line Up Tab, switch to Bulk Loads, edit altitude and Next Uid() values as wanted. Start a selection at cell A20 and draag it to Column C, down as many entries as wanted, stopping before line 177. Copy. Paste into you World File. Remove blank lines as needed.
