tool example tie

Tool: Generate Example Tie

Entry: Tools → Generate Example Tie (Action create_track_gen.example_tie) Source: src/logic/parts.ts (examplePartBox) + src/build/workspace.ts (createExampleCube)

What it does

Places an example tie box (cube) into the currently open workspace, sized after test/sample_parts/test_tie.bbmodel, as a size reference or generation part. There is no dialog — clicking the tool creates the cube immediately; it can be undone.

The generated cube

Property	Value
Name	example_tie
Shape	A single box (no face textures)
Size	32 (wide) × 4 (tall) × 3.5 (deep) px, long axis across X (perpendicular to the track, matching Create's ties)
Position	Bottom face at y=0; horizontally centered on the format's symmetry point — Java block/item (8,8), free model (0,0)

Uses

• Size reference: eyeball a Create tie's width / thickness.
• Generation part: extract it via "Select a Tab…" in "Generate Create Tracks" (a texture-less box picks up the workspace's texture size automatically).

Notes

• No texture: the box renders in the default solid color.
• In a free-model workspace this box is a cube (not a mesh), so it doesn't trigger the OBJ-only export restriction.
