im trying to make a standard APAS docking ring for some station modules, but what are the specific features and sizes of an APAS? i understand its general shape, but what is the diameter of the foreplate?

I came up with the following references for my Gateway Station

NASASPACEFLIGHT forums, as well as L3 have threads on the subject

And while I don't use the Wiki specs, I do use the attached reference PDFs. These are considered source documents.

I made some very nice textures from these source docks, and the APAS portion of the CDA MESH can be removed or trimmed for use freely, dig in.
