Even if I turn on the grid I don't see how you determine where the fielders are positioned or even how to change the dimensions of the field.

You have to basically count the zones - our grid map is similar to retrosheet: https://www.retrosheet.org/location.htm

So in your case, you can see that RF (zone 9) basically is at the wall. I've pinged Jorin to ask him how to potentially fix it, I don't know if that's something that you can do yourself in the park editor page or editing a file, or if it's something that Silvam would have to fix himself in the park, or even potentially if it just simply isn't possible given that RF fence.

I see what you're saying. So I'm guessing that the player figure on the field is based on that, as well, and the starting position for the right-fielder would be zone 9, explaining why he's standing behind the fence. I'll see if the manual gives any help on editing 3D ballparks.

Clicking on the game link for online manuals times out for me. Is there a way in the 3D editor to specify where you want the various Retrosheet zones?

Clearly this was never solved because I am dealing with this now in 2024!! SILVA!!!!
