Chutemainfull Ac

The coloring of this is based off of the Apollo chutes. The information for diamter, length of cone, and the comparitive volumes of the reefed stages was provided to me by the ESCG parachute team. More specific info on the specs can be posted if necessary. Do bear in mind that they warned me that the chutes aren't fully designed, so the specs may change.

As far as I know, AC3d doesn't directly support units of measurement. But I designed this chute treating the units as inches. The origin of the model is the point at which the lines of the chute all meet. As far as orientation - the canopy of a single chute was made along the -x axis, then I reproduced the chute, 3 times, tilting 20 degrees around the x-axis. So, the negative x-axis is the line drawn from the origin to the center of the three chutes. Due to the symmetry, there's no difference between y and z.
