Can any shed some light on the "Support Ring" output obtained from

Radius = 0.834338
I just want to know how I might divide my circle up for positioning
of the various triangle supports and bars.

Right I think I've found the answer to my own question.
If I multiply the radius of my mirror by the radius figure given by
Plop for each "ring" I seem to get the correct support rings to line
everything up with.

At least I know what I'm going on about even if nobody else does. ;o)

Not sure you need to do this.

Instead of computing the support ring radii in terms of relative radii which
is what you seem to have done, change it to absolute radii. In Plop Cell
DesignerCell Type tab, change Support Radii from Relative to Absolute....
While you're on this tab you probably want Variable Angles on Supports
checked.

I assume you're taking your figures from the Cell Parts and Part Dimensions
forms, rather than main Plop Cell Designer form. I find the former much
easier to work with.
