How to measure exact center of a square for my VClaim

[Zachary09]

Hello there,

I have encountered a problem while planning my village. How exactly am I supposed to measure where the exact center for my Village Claim is (the square is 101x101)?
I would be able to determine this if I was able to place one or check out one already existing.

The problem arose when I created a .png formatted village plan, and there was a big problem exactly with Village Idol placement.
Now, the game is not perfectly mathematic, so perfect pixel measurements kind of hinder the research for me here. I assumed that because the idol is 2x3, it has to claim 49 blocks up on the Y axes and 50 blocks down on the Y axes to make up for its 2 blocks high size.

Or, should I rather geometrically measure the center of my village and place a building signpost of the village idol exactly in the mathematical center? I know that is possible because of the latest changes

I might or might not share the .png of my plan to further help you determine the answer to this question.

The center is the rear row, center tile if I recall correctly, the tile under the skull. (Just saw someone post this elsewhere.)

That simplifies things real bit. Do you possess village idol building site pictures just to check the initial placement?
//edit: i'm interested in a snapping to grid pattern

Although MagicManICT's explanation is incredibly more easy to understand.

I don't personally. I want to say I've seen one floating around the forums with the grid markers on if you want to take the time to search it out (if you can even find it as so many people don't tag images). Might be faster than waiting for someone to post it back up. Otherwise, there are plenty of images around of the idol around. I believe the "Wulf's Retreat" thread has a few, though think they might be a bit object dense for what you're wanting to see. They're also in the "Building design guide" thread where people have been showing off the different color schemes they've worked out.
