Posted December 20, 201212 yr Staff I am just using a rough and quick eye-ball method of determining the centrepoint.Please see attachment.To be on the safe side, given that the layout plan has several protrusions and even missing areas, it is best to apply the rudimentary method of photo-copy a layout; place it on a cardboard, cut-out the outline and then balance a nail to find the centre-of-gravity.

Does it mean from what you have made in the diagram that the north east (left hand bottom side ) and south west side (right side top) are protrusions ? I was under the impression that we need to draw a rectangle that covers the entire layout unlike the rectangle which you drew which does not cover the entire layout.Do let me know as and when you find time. Would be great if you could throw some more light and assistThanks & RegardsBobby
Posted December 21, 201212 yr Staff These are some considerations:1. As mentioned, previously, I am just giving it a quick-over. My main objective is to try to zoom in to try to visualise where most likely the centre-of-gravity MAY-BE. Thus as mentioned, my outline is a very rough estimate.2. For such a layout, it is best to use the rudimentary method as suggested earlier to find the centre-of-gravity.
