    FPD, then dived by two, subtract your mono pd=inset

    Divide B by two, is the seg height higher or lower, = up or down placement.

    Hope this is what your looking for!

    FPD=68
    PPD=58
    SEG=17
    A=50
    B=21
    DBL=18.....SO IS THIS CORRECT

    68/2=34-29=5(INSET) ?

    21/2=10.5-17= -6.5 UP PLACEMENT ?

    It's right but I hope you're not placing a 17 seg in a 21 B frame and leaving them 4mm for distance;)
