Sliding drop outs with Stratos 22 drop outs with bike cad

HI @BikeCAD working with sliding drop outs and trying to center tube on them?? , just wondering you don’t see them on bike cad from the top view. What am I missing or do I need to just do the math. I just to make cure my Cz. and my Sz. is correct. I can see my Cy from the side.

I am using @StratoCycles DSO 22 drop outs. I just to to make sure I am landing in the right spot. if my axle spacing is correct and I have the Stratos in static drawing every things is perfect?

The auxiliary views of the stays are taken through cross sections running from the rear end to the front end of the stays. Therefore, as the angles of the stays change so do the angles of the auxiliary views.

This means to accurately show the dropouts in an auxiliary view I would need to take a cross section through the dropout at any specified angle. Not just store a top view.

In order to better tune values for Cz and Sz, I would recommend exporting your model to FreeCAD and observing it in 3D.
