      we sold some old trams to Oberbozen Italy.

      this is how it could look like:

        new model.

        I've found that picture of an old tram of my hometown:

        727940811_1323814459818646_1360250114934098075_n.jpg

        took it to meshyAI and remodelled it:

        then I merged the picture with an old one of our shop in the 60ties:

        doerr1960-2.jpg

        result was great:

                            Nice results. Strange to watch rendering change so much. It's now a text prompt.

                                    I am still struggling with the best way of setting complex rails to my model.

                                    is the newest profile builder really the best way to setup complex rails with junctions and so on?

                                    here I have a typical project to solve:

                                    I have set the way for the rails and the proxy for followme.

                                      ProfileBuilder won't one-shot that network because there are so many branches.

                                      Here is what PB4 will produce if you try to loft the profile across that network or splines.

                                        Wow this one looks great.

                                        You used profile builder 4 and what did you do then?

                                        you took each part and do it one after one?

                                          I rotated your profile to lie on XY plane so I could assign it as a Profile.

                                          Then selected all the network of splines and used Build Along Path to create what you see in the file I shared.
