Little different question for this forum, but I think it fits. What tools do you use to transcribe a layout on the ball?

Looking more towards something I can use at home starting out, nothing really fancy. Are the plastic options like the PowerHouse Mass Bias Layout Tool (link below) worth buying or is it just a cheap toy that's not very accurate? I'm not real familiar with these kind of things so any feedback is much appreciated.

Looks like a great option that does the same or more as other quarter scales at half  to a third the price.

Can someone explain a little further? I've looked at this on Google, but not getting enough info to understand this acomplishes. I can't say it's a turkey fog... That comes later today  .

All help appreciated. and Happy T-Day to all.

It's a tool you use to draw the layout on a ball before drilling.

Thanks Coor. I was expecting it to be something that indicated the theoretical relative changes of various layouts as positioned on the ball. This makes more sense.

powerhouse has a software tool that Will do what you want to do, but it is only for EBI balls and costs around $1000.  Storm vector layout is a spreadsheet tool that Will do what you want to do, without the graphics.  It is free.

Blueprint software is $500. You can do a trial version for free. 

Thanks for the correction.  I haven't looked at it for a long time.  I was going from a bad memory.
