EASY Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Hi, i can only show you how to to in Blender... but the basic procedure in sketchup is the same... Make a model of the train... and export it as .x file (i,e. Train.x) Make a model of the cockpit... .... within this model there must be an object (i think in sketchup it is a "group") named "_CCP" (Cockpit-Camera-Position)... (... it represents the point from which it is seen when you "enter cockpit" in TS4) Note: This object will not be shown in TS4... so you can use anything (i.e. a cube) ... the position of the model "Train-cockpit" based an the model "Train"... Note: you are looking from inside out! (normals of your faces)... ... and export it as .x file (i.e. Train-cockpit.x) Import it in TS4 to the catalog as "Vehicle"... ... choose here "Train.x"... ... and here "Train-cockpit.x" (... note the name will not be shown... but i do not know why) In TS4 the train... ... and the cockpit view... ... hope you can understand and it helps you...

BahnLand Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hi @raf.sonneville, as Sketchup modeler, I have not yet any experience with creation and mounting of cockpit models. But I think, that @EASY is quite right with his assumptions for Sketchup use. Especially, all sub-models which should be identified as separate frames within the x-file, must be defined as separate groups in the Sketchup model. This is also true for the "_CCP"-Model.
