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.

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.

[pilou]

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...

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!

Here some parts for intersections. based on eneroth intersectionsINTERSECTION GB_EU.skp for all friends from GB, too

and here variations with CrossWalk

INTERSECTION GB_EU_PED.skp

[pilou]

Bingo!!!! That works fine!

The trick was to take the 7 clicks "in diagonal" Front / Bottom, Left / Right for avoid same plane!

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

Another thing : Can I group the girl to the existing volume and Drive it? Seems not!

Edit : Bingo again : not group the girl with the volume, but put she "inside" the Volume grouped (in the Menu Window/ Structure! )
So you can transport any thing!

A funny thing : if you hide thre rails, you can drive any thing like along a path!

Last mystery :

[deaneau]

coming soon

[pilou]

Cool roads design!

Something to know for LightUp : if you put a component "Face me" for transporting on something : animation will works fine in SU but not in LightUp!
So put normal components and the animation will work fine also in LightUp!

Here a a version with Fences.

i will upload the ready version. the fences have 12 sites (more high poly) tell me when you need lowpoly (5S or 6S),too. than i upload both versions. the fence is without textures, so you can texuring by your self.

I've been working on an update to the plugin so the inner side of the road can be hidden when automatically drawn. This means each "track" doesn't need to be manually edited to hide these edges and the parametric functionally is much better.

I've made some videos showing how fast it is/will be to edit the intersections.

Change angle and remove outgoing street

Draw road (and how to make sure curves can be arcs)

Drawing a bridge

You can try this already with the new intersections attached but with the current version of the plugin edges will appear in the middle of the street. I'll publish a new version of the plugin when there are some more features added.

What a system!

[deaneau]

here now the download
INTERSECTION GB_EU_PED_TL_FENCE.rar

[eneroth3]

deaneau: Instead of manually modelling the fence you could add it as a track type and be able to use it in all sorts of curves without ever having to remodel it! The plugin adds parametric behavior for just this.
