        Hi Eneroth
        Thanks so very much for your Railroad System for all to play with.
        I have just loved trains since I can remember.
        Here is one of the really great American Locomotives.
        Pulled freight in Colorado USA
        My model at home and C.B & Q. photo 1930.
        Owner: Chicago Burlington & Quincy
        Model: BLW 4-8-4 Built As:CBQ 5601 (4-8-4)
        Serial Number:61444
        Built: 9/1930
        Notes: blt 9/30, retired 5/61 sold for scrap
        Note:My model has a later boiler than in the photo.
        😞
        How sad to loose such an awesome machine.

          Wow! After reading these posts, this is one of the most promising productive plugins I have seen for Sketchup since I started using the software in 2009. Keep up the good work and someone will complete a whole Hollywood movie using your plug-in (with many others). I won't be able to do anything with it for the next few weeks but, this could be packaged with Vali Architects Instant Site Grader Nui and Plusspec to do a complete city. Awesome! πŸ‘

                          You can all make models of these locomotives and share here πŸ˜„ . Remember that they might need to be quite low detailed to avoid lag, you can check out how the rolling stocks shipped with the plugin are drawn πŸ˜„ .

                            I will just add that to the Documentation πŸ˜‰

                            About the number of lines : no problem I have them! (mΓͺme les lignes vides sont numΓ©rotΓ©es! πŸ˜‰

                            About the Cancel : that is made πŸ˜„ (But synonym πŸ˜‰

                            I really don't understand how you manage to get it wrong all the time. It's not a synonym. It's a translation of the word in another context. Another, faulty, word doesn't make sense. If the translation doesn't make sense it' to no help at all. It's only harming the plugin.

                            dialog.png

                            Also Apply seems to be translated to Appliquer in this context. Can you please explain how you managed to get completely different words? I really want to know because I just can't understand it. Have you never seen a dialog box like the one above?

                                It's not just about these 2 phrases. It's about everyone in the whole plugin (230 of them) and every sentence in the whole so called translation of the documentation.

                                If you run this in the console, what does it return?

                                UI.messagebox "TEXT", MB_YESNOCANCEL
                                

                                It's not "strictly" the same. Different words are used in different contexts. It's strictly wrong with other inconsistent words.

                                I have no idea how you do it when you so called translate. When you see strings such as "OK", "Cancel" and "Apply" under the header "Web dialog buttons" in the dictionary file, how can you not recognize those words from similar dialogs?

                                Btw, you've also managed to color the x axis green several times in the so called translation of the documentation. That makes your statement that the so called translation is perfectly understandable to French people a lie.

                                    I scaled the slider so it would be easier to run at low speeds at rail yards but you can enter much higher values in the text box πŸ˜„ .

                                    I don't know if I should re-scale the slider so it can be used for high speed trains or perhaps even make it logarithmic or something so it can be used for both. That could however be less user intuitive when the user for instance want to double the speed and tries to drag the slider twice as far from its start.

                                      no no i dont mean the slider him self. ok this is a way when i can insert an other value.

                                        As a side note to this excellent plugin, it is incredibly hard to make accurate translations of technical language. Not only do you need to be fluent in both languages you also need to be fluent in the relivant jargon of the technology involved. I speak 6 languages and can order a beer in several others but I haven't joined any of the foreign language sections because I know how easy it is to get it all screwed up. My wife works as a similtanious translator in 3 languages and she has translated quite a number of help files/user manuals etc and even she has problems to get it right. We often spend hours rereading and discussing the nuances of phrases and words that can have a multitude of meaning and therefore an almost infinite number of possible target words.

                                        You must understand what needs to be said in both languages, if you aren't fluent in one it will be wrong!

                                          As a side note to this excellent plugin, it is incredibly hard to make accurate translations of technical language. Not only do you need to be fluent in both languages you also need to be fluent in the relivant jargon of the technology involved. I speak 6 languages and can order a beer in several others but I haven't joined any of the foreign language sections because I know how easy it is to get it all screwed up. My wife works as a similtanious translator in 3 languages and she has translated quite a number of help files/user manuals etc and even she has problems to get it right. We often spend hours rereading and discussing the nuances of phrases and words that can have a multitude of meaning and therefore an almost infinite number of possible target words.

                                          You must understand what needs to be said in both languages, if you aren't fluent in one it will be wrong!

                                          This is very true and one of the reasons I from the start was quite unsure whether I wanted it translated or not. I've tried to explain in my post how important it is to look at the text in its context but I don't know if everyone understood.
