Re: Bumper and Min + Max

Well... sort of.

Not a Bumper: There is nothing saying that you can't have a structure in there that is built like a Bumper. However, you cannot count it as a Bumper. It won't count towards the 8". The reason is that it's not on the Frame Perimeter.

Not OK (bottom): There isn't a bumper there, and there needs to be 8" of bumper because it's next to a corner of the Frame Perimeter.

Not OK (right): It's "Not OK" because the bumper is too short (< 8"), and the frame it's mounted to is too short for a full bumper, but the Frame Perimeter is clearly longer than 8".


Bear in mind I'm looking at the most recent version of that image, which was in today's Team Update.
