Angle Ruler Pack (5° steps)

Description
Please read the description carefully to understand what this does and doesn't :)

This is a pack of angle rulers/ angle ruler disc thingies/ protractors/ goniometers in 4 different sizes, 5m, 10m, 20m and 50m radius. They allow you to determine angles between objects in 5° steps, which is handy for plopping objects and detailers. See the pictures above for some simple examples. These rulers are, however, not able to tell you the angle between roads as you build them, use Precision Engineering or Measure It! for this.

In game these are props, search for "angle ruler", "protractor", "goniometer" or "rl" using Find It!. They have custom thumbnails to ease your search. The yellow markings on them are colormapped and can be recolored with Prop Painter. Of course they are PO-able.

The LOD, especially of the 20m and 50m radius versions, triggers extremely fast. To circumvent these problems, I recommend you to use either Adaptive Prop Visibility, ULOD or simply PO the ruler.

Technical Stuff:
Main: 423 Tris, 64x512 Maps
Main-LOD: 79 Tris, 32x32 Maps
All discs use the same textures, so with LSM the RAM usage should be a fourth of the pack size.

I'd really like to make a rotors shader version of these (thanks to Ronyx69 for this idea), however ModTools is broken for me, so this is not going to happen too soon.

OMG Thank yooooouuuuu

Are you familiar with the MB Ruler software? I've been using it for angles when Precision Engineering doesn't cut it.
