I'm a complete newbie to route editing...I've been able to create a new route, load the map for that route tile, load the HGT data for that tile..starting laying track...and that's where I have a couple of questions...

#1. In the attached photo you can see track sections. I "set rotation to terrain","Set position to terrain", Adjusted rotation so "tracks alight" however you can see the elevation changes between sections....I'm using 10m sections.. is solution just smaller sections...?

#2. When you exit TSRE is there a way to save you position, Camera, etc. so that when you go back into the editor you are where you were when you left??

I appreciate your patience with newbie......

thanks

guess it helps if you send the picture dummy!!!!

#1, dunno
#2, In TSRE click on Route in the upper left corner, Edit route settings, on the left under Start Tile enter the coordinates shown in the Navi window. The Navi window shows where you are standing at any given moment.
This is what mine looks like. Randy

Don't use options you mentioned.

Why not? It works.

It was an answer to the first post, not yours.

Hi Amtrak
I don't know anything about the "set position/rotation to terrain". I don't even know where to find them.

Place your first piece of track and rotate it to the correct direction using the "R" key followed by number 4 or 6 .
While the track is selected press "F" and the terrain will conform to the track.

Place your second track piece and this should snap to the first piece. Again F will adjust the terrain.
If you wish to adjust the gradient do this in the panel on the left BEFORE you have the tdb lines showing on the track.
Under "Elevation" there are a number of different ways of setting the gradient, I use the default 0/00.
I find that changing this by 5 for each 10m length of track gives a fairly smooth transition.
(Note that TSRE will change your value slightly unless you enter 5.00 10.00 15.00 etc.

You should find that long sections of track join up correctly.
