Linear problem.
Dear All,
I am trying to make a railway cab-ride view animation and am a bit stuck with the track. I have lots of gradient changes and curves which I’ve smoothed out using roundcorner. I have then draped the imported image traced tracks and draped them onto the “trackbed”
But I now want to use pathcopy to copy a railway sleeper and its attached pieces of rail along the undulating and curving path so I may then go back and make each 30 inch component unique and rotate it in 1/8 inch increments to give the effect of transition camber on various curves (super elevation)
I cannot think of any other way to do this. But my problem is the drop plugin, as far as I know, only drops an object onto a level planing. This is no good if I want to drop a sleeper / rail component onto the plane of a gradient.
Any ideas?
