Hi Deaneau,

Can you Let me know the name that you are submitting these tickets under (you can PM me if you would rather keep that private). I cannot find the issue in our help desk log, so I am wondering if you are having an issue submitting a ticket.

I am sure that, once we get you in touch with our help desk, we can get your issue straightened out and get you running like new.

Sorry for any inconvenience!
Aaron

you and Brendon.S have had answer.. we are working on this problem....

The typical height of the catenary would be useful to know. I know it's not constant in real life and can be lower under bridges for instance but since it would be constant in the plugin it would be useful to know what value to set it to.

I don't have the time myself to draw lines for trucks but if I get the catenary to work any user could add it. I'll focus mostly on rail transport which is what the plugin is designed for and I've already proved it can be used for roads too even if that really should have its own plugin with features such as changing lane anywhere and driving manually.

The main focus for the next release will be a new track drawing mode for continuous rail lines connecting points selected by the user. This will be much faster than the current method of adding short track segments and manually reposition them to desired length and angle. It will also support transition curves to reduce jerk when entering or leaving a curve.

hi Christina, yes thats right about different height.

i the pictures you can see the red area, over the clearance diagram (blue /yellow) this is the room that can move the pantograph. in the short movie, you can see the movement of the wire along the pantograph (zig zag). when you will have the clearance diagram and the catenary i can send this via PM.
MIBA have a german seria about railroad infrastructure (signals, catenary etc.)

do you want remove complete the old system, laying out the tracks? this system was good for people will using your plugin for planing the modelrail road

for example. if you want plan a märklin board, this could build first in 1:1 and than, if i finished..you can scale this down to the H0,TT,N scale. ok than withot driving trains.

MIBA have specialist literature not only for model railroader.

however only in german

actually i work on signals

I haven't had time to check out the link until now. Some of the drawings seem really useful . I'm mostly interested in the German system but it seems to be quite similar the Swedish one.

i could look, to find some informations about differences. hight over rail head (SO in german). etc.

ok is not your question however could look good in ERS

cotty klasse idee.

Hallo, gibt es hier jemanden, der auch 3dsMax in seinem Workflow integriert hat?.
mich würde interessieren ob man Guidepoints in Point und/oder Dummy wandeln kann.

vielen Dank

Hi Deaneau,

We ARE working on a new version but, as often happens in software development, it is taking a little longer than I had originally hoped.

Judging from the picture above, it looks like you have a corrupted dynamic component.

Submit a ticket to our help desk here: http://www.buildedge.com/help/index.php?a=add

The guys on the help desk should be able to get this fixed and get your windows looking nice again.

Thanks,
Aaron

aaron, look march or april, i have send this bug, this is not a corrupted component its more of a bug.
i have only a new document without any other objects. i have have never sent so many bugreports to a developer.

Hello every body.

is it possible to convert GuidePoints to Points and /or Dummies?

thank you

Dean

Dean:

Do you have the specifications this model is drawn after? I'd like to know the width of where the catenary can be and the default height. Measurements of the catenary support structure would be very useful too. Also if there's a specific color used on these that color code would be useful for drawing own catenary.

do you talking about a german system, or what? we have in europe many different systems...

when you can waiting a little time, i will search all about this. my information is based on german system.

here a page about Swiss, Austria and Germany

however geman language

http://homepage.hispeed.ch/wili-the-wire/

sorry, tecknical publications will be very rare and this special in english is more than rare.

the table is spliited in Text, Drawing(blueprints) and photos. i think the Drawings will be important for you. dont wondering that some pictures in this page is before 1945,too.

EDIT:

thanks Christina,
without Sketchup? wow. some times sketchup is a drug, and the sketchucation server was down here. some bad minutes or houres.

Do you know that you have also a Physic engine (Bullet) for Sketchup inside Simfonia ?
(free version is existing)

hello pilou,

not realy free, only a free trail.

dean

about jPod is this a station or is this only a solar panele?

i cant see elevators or escalators

JPods - Wikipedia

looks nice.

this could be design in a game too

will be different colors of cars a different line?
like this

do you know more about this system? ok elecrical (solar). in berlin we have had monorail

Dean: My names are both Julia and Christina but most people say Christina. And I don't understand what that image has to do with anything.

this was picture language.

last theme was clearance/loading gaudge and the link i gave you was an inspiration.

if you compare all the measures american and european you will understand my picture.

in the US is all a littlebit bigger, then in europe. i dont know how good you know the american freight cars. there you have double-decker-container-cars like this.

and i have asking me, how look the tunnels there.

nice we

What about an Bugfix, since i have pay this i have never work withis

@deaneau said:

ok ERS is a young plugin and all ideas will be placed. this will need time. my dream is to work with SP and ERS together. 2009-2014 is a long time,too.

Deaneau, I respect your request, but I'm not willing to place much time on this plugin. You know, I have to work on MSPhysics the similar plugin to SketchyPhysics... The reason I fixed SP was because there are many SketchyPhysics models at 3Dwarehouse. It was hard for me to see them all be left behind.

hi anton, oh ok, what ever, all new can only the best
do you have a project link?

Erstellung und Pflege fachspezifischer Übersetzungen für Dokumentation und Software ist richtig viel Arbeit und benötigt natürlich auch das entsprechende Know-How bez. der korrekten Begrifflichkeiten... was man an manchem Termini der deutschen SU-Version sehen kann...

Bei kommerziellen Produkten sollte das eigentlich der Anbieter leisten, die offiz. SU Video-Tutorials gibt's allerdings auch noch nicht auf Deutsch...

Da alle die mal ein freies Plugin übersetzt haben das wissen, ist die Quote derer die sowas 'pro bono' machen eher überschaubar...

Norbert

ja das wird so nie passieren weil der Adam Brite ist.

nun ja wenn es nur die Oberfläche berührt ist ja englisch noch ok, aber wenn es tiefer geht, was man in deutsch auch nicht so recht versteht, ist die Muttersprache immer die liebste Sprache.

nun ja

dann war das wohl die letzte Version von Lightup für mich.

nette Restwoche euch allen

Dean

@burkhard said:

Kenne kein einziges.
Ich habe Lightup in den Anfängen mal übersetzt, bin aber aktuell nicht auf dem laufenden, sorry

hallo Burkhard, hast du es aufgegeben oder ist der support seits Adam nicht ausreichend?

wenn du mir deine übersetzung schicken könntest...
bis zu welcher Version bist du denn mit deiner version gegangen?

Der Workflow mit sketchup und lightup ist für mich einfacher als der mit 3dMax... von daher würde ich dabei bleiben wollen, aber summierender frust ist auch nicht die lösung. ich bin sicher dass ich das mit lightup hinbekomme ...aber.....
lightup hat durchaus potential wenn es um games geht...

gruss dean

p.s. schöne bilder die du auf deiner seite hast

Hello i quick info about an exportplugin to a game...

look here

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=58665%26amp;p=533934#p533934

Hello Sketchucation Community,
I would tell you that i have find a sketchup plugin that can directly export to the Trainz GAme.

could be that some user will loving Eneroth Railroad System und will, export this objects to a game, here is the solution

eneroth railroad system and the RubyTMIX could be a dreamteam.

http://www.dhobh.net/trainz/GoogleSketchUp/RubyTMIX.htm

http://www.trainzportal.com/

search in google or youtube trainz

you will find a lot of videos tutorials etc.

ok what can`t do the plugin.

trainz need spezial helper points, supported via 3dMax export, Blender export.

My big dream is that a plugin dev here in Sketchucation could expand this RubyTMIX to this feature.
than its possible to have lokos,cars etc.

this attachementPoint/Helperpoint is a special Object(?) that can connect to other objects

this must be named.
if a plugin dev whant know more about this i could link the devdocs for content creators.

i know many ContentCreator that will use sketchup and not 3dMax (expansive, complicate etc)
and Trainz can buy in different versions the old version 2004-2010 and Trainz 12

only 2010 and 12 will supported however the old version i can use on all pc plateforms, and very cheap. the principle have not change only the rederengin.

AND Trainz New Era will be come this (?) year.

http://www.simulatorcentral.com/Pages/TANE-Preorder/TANE-Preorder.php

i love trainz not only for gaming with trains i can visualize some things

the roman limes, the chinese wall or other historical content.

you can let one's imagination run wild.

this is not a commercial what i write. i only love games like Trainz Railworks, Trainsimulator etc.... this is not an egoshooter and kids can play with this, too.

will go my dream true?..-> RubyTIMX with attachementpoints....?

best regards dean

This cannot be done on rolling stocks that are already initialized such as those in the rolling stock library. The scale would be reset when driving. Also it won't work on tracks. Scaling tracks with the scale tool changes the path they are drawn to and is used when you for instance want to change the radius or the length. The track is then redrawn with the same guage as before.

ok this mean if the loco is build in 1:1 Scale and saved in the library scaling doesnt work

if i design a H0 extrusion-profil (16,5mm) and build the loco in H0 scale and than save to the library this will work. right?

hm, than have a model loco the same speed like a real loco. m/s. wow

next
what about a field to insert a radius.

i have try to measure the radius for 10° and 20° curves. and when i calculate this with the rule of 3 i will have different results.

is this a calculation error by sketchup or by the plugin?

the real railroad in europe measure a curved track in Radius

404 Not Found

(www.dybas.de)

the picture mean. the car can drive minimum this curve radius or higher.
