[Plugin] Eneroth Railroad System (v 0.1.21)

[pilou]

For create a new one car or train...
Can I take any volume as one group ?
Does this group must be ont the rail or street during the creation?
Where must be this new on after I give it a name ?

Because seems nothing is created after the naming!

[eneroth3]

It must be standing on a track/street to be driven so it's easiest to initialize it there too. To find the center plane of the street you can draw a temporary edge between the painted lines at the sides of that lane and position the group at its midpoint.

[pilou]

Ok but about the naming?
If it's ask a name, that want to say that all points are fully ...so in what folder goes the new one created ?

Creation was success after the naming but...
and I see nowhere where is the "Bull" that I had created!

[pilou]

All this new creation can be done in SU Make ?
A new one must follow all the parts of an existing One?
A simple box volume can't be work ?

Because beside or inside nothing appears!

[pilou]

See the bottom of the previous page!

my suggestion copy a loco in a separate folder and open this in sketchup and look where the wheels must be.

[pilou]

I am not sure that only this placement resolve my little problem
As I want input any volume as Loco I had believed that the 7 clicks inputs on this volume were sufficient!
As I had the message "Give a name" (I gave "Bull" I had supposed that all works fine!
But no trace of this file nowhere!
Move it on the good altitude of rail don't change nothing!

At 2:48:04 in this video you can see how rolling stocks are initialized and then optionally saved to the library. Saving to the library is still quite undeveloped and has to be done through the console now but a graphical interface is planned.

II will study that

Something is wrong with the point you input, otherwise the rolling stock would stand on the track. Also initializing as rolling stock doesn't add it to the library.

i havn´t try rolling stock. this answer could give the good manual or Eneroth.

i dont know, do you have download the big movie.. Eneroth have build a loco, could be you find the answer there ,too.

You want to say that is just temporary ? Where it is saved ?

Here my volume is named ok
But alas when I try to Drive it : This train is not on the rail etc...

[eneroth3]

@unknownuser said:

Last mystery :
Just now, how to put this volume in the library ?

A better and graphical interface is planned (including prompting the user already when initializing the rolling stock). for now you need to do as the documentation (Plugins>Railroad>Documentation) or the video I linked says.

[pilou]

Many Thanks! I will be patient!
It's yet now a little true Gem!
