Dropout view in the additional Stay-view

Hello together

Until now I have created my chainstays in a separate cad, because I could not manage to transfer the dropouts to the additional chainstay view in BikeCAD. It is ingenious how you can add the dropouts (I use paragon dropouts) in the normal view via static drawing. But since I need to know the exact location and angle for the slot of my struts, I would need the static drawing of the dropouts also in the additional strut view. Is this already possible, have I overlooked something? Or if not, would that be possible in the future?

Open bike from CSV Building Specs Export?

Hi, I have a bit of a niche question:

For some context, I am working on an academic project in which I use machine learning to design bikes, and I am automatically generating CSV building spec files and would like to generate corresponding images without having to manually enter in hundreds of dimensions. I was wondering if there is a function to load a bike model based on a building spec export file. In case this isn't a feature, is there a good way to automatically edit/generate BikeCAD files to insert many dimensions? Thanks in advance for any insight!

Is it possible to turn on the X dimension, available in the Mount type | Braze-on, for the Mount type | Direct mount?

I have a frame with an offset seat tube and woud like to move the derailleur to the rear. In it's current location the rear of the derailleur cage touches the chainring teeth and the chain rubs on the bottom of the derailleur cage in the low gear ratios.

With thanks

Peter

For the life of me I can't work out why all boxes apart from "Include" and End of Stay Dimples are greyed out.

Cheers

When I try to save file, save as, or export PDF, I am getting a small box in the upper left corner. It just says "Problem", and a button to clear log. Any thoughts? My files are not being saved at this time. Thanks!
