Sorry to ask this but how do I do it?

If I had asked this question weeks ago it would have saved me quite a lot of time.

I have in the past redone my tracks onto a new board about four times now.

So in future, the first thing to do is ask the question before doing anything.

Looking forward to your reply, and thanks again.

Eric

Hi Goetz,

Thanks for the reply.

If, I delete the board will I lose my layout tracks, or can I save them?

Eric

[Landscaping]

I have at last made a river/valley and saved it, but I have decided that I need to place it in a different location.

Can anyone please tell me how to revert the base board back to a flat surface without loosing the tracks to allow me to reposition the river/valley.

Thanks,

Eric

Thank you, Curt,

I will study it.

[Adding water]

Thanks, Goetz,

I will take another look at the video and do it step by step and then hopefully I will get it to work.

At least now at long last, I have made the valley for the water thanks to you.

Eric

[Adding water]

Thanks for the reply Curt,

That wasn't what I was thinking of, but it looks as though it would suffice.

The video I have seen was by Goetz and he did it quite easily in one movement, but when I tried I get a rectangle that spills over the sides and doesn't follow the shape of the valley.

So that now leaves the question, "How do I do your version, please"?

Eric

[Adding water]

Hi 

I have formed a valley and want to turn it into a river.

I have seen a video on how to do this but what I need to know is how to make the selected water follow the contours and length which is rather long in just one operation.

Thanks,

Eric

I would like to say a big thank you to both Goetz and simonjackson1964 for all there help today.

In the end, I used the method which Goetz said to try.

Thanks again both.

Eric

Goetz,

I have just tried something.

I have put the layout in 2d mode got a new piece of track and yes it's at a different high from the track.

The new price slides under the layout track, so this means that I need to lower the layout track or bring the board  surface up to layout track hight somehow.

Eric

[track not connecting]

Goetz,

As well as the board area being made larger I also made the thickness slightly thicker, perhaps this is the trouble.

I that's the case then I have a problem as I don't remember what the original thickness was.

I have just pulled two pieces of track out of the online catalogue and connected them with no problem, which makes me think that it's a thickness issue.

Eric

[track not connecting]

Thanks for your reply, Simon.

Yes, on the track which I get from the online catalogue when I try to connect is blue its the red bars which are at the ends like when it's a track at the end of a siding or station terminus.

I am using the paid version.

Eric

[track not connecting]

Hi Goetz,

I just drag the next piece of track to the red end of one piece but both ends stay red.

What do you need to see my layout, if it's my login details then I don't mind sending you them? 

Eric

[track not connecting]

Hi,

No, it's not the auto-connect setting its still coloured blue.

Things were fine until the board resize, I have now reversed the resizing but that has not corrected the problem.

Is there a limit on the number of track pieces?

Eric

[track not connecting]

Thanks yet again Goetz, I will have a look at the setting.

[track not connecting]

Hi 

I have made my base board larger to add some extra track.

I now find that any track I try to add will not connect either with new pieces or to the old.

Any ideas please.

Thanks

Eric

[3D Mode]

Thanks, Goetz I will have a go perhaps tomorrow.

[3D Mode]

Hi Goetz,

I thought that was how I changed my viewpoint that's why I did it that way.

So now I want to know how to do this, please.

Thanks

Eric

[3D Mode]

I find when in3D Mode that when I revolve the board the tracks stay in position as though they are not sitting at ground level but above.

Has anyone got an answer please.

[Landscaping]

I am starting a new project and have configured the board for mountains and valleys before starting.

I need answers please to the two following questions.

1. there is no thickness showing for the edge of the board only the white coloured corner pieces which look the correct size. This means that the base of any valley can be seen hanging down.

How do I get the board edge to show?

2. When I lay any tracks they don't couple together and show a white mark around them.

I assume that this is because the height is no longer set at at zero.

Is there a setting to over come this?

thank you in advance for any help given.

Eric

Hi Goetz

Firstly thanks for your good wishes and at the moment things a looking good.

I have today watch your Twitch video which I downloaded in case it had disappeared I hope that's ok with you.

In it you made your brush either 10,000 or 100,000 times larger to cover the base board, I have tried to do this but find that my brush always reverts back to around the 800 mark which is too small.

Have you any idea why this is happening and what is the solution.

Best wishes,

Eric

[Landscaping]

Thank you, Goetz, for your good wishes he says that he can't wait to view the video.

If you can conserve it for a longer period that would be ok.

He also wants to know if it's downloadable.

Thank you again for your thoughts.

[Landscaping]

Thank you Eric says that he will take a look perhaps on Sunday if he's ok.

He also says that he hopes it makes things clearer for him.

He will bet you know afterwards.

Hi Goetz,

I have just seen your reply as I had an appointment at the eye hospital yesterday for a small operation.

Because of this, I am not typing this message.

It's the raising of the baseboard which I am having a mental block with.

I am assuming that raising the board is the equivalent of a thicker board or is it a sandwich with a void filling.

When the board has been raised is the track which has been laid still at ground level on the top layer.

Could you please talk me through all the procedure including digging a river/valley and forming a mountain as well as the colouring of them?

I know it's a lot to ask but I can't get my head around it even after watching the videos, is it an age thing I wonder.

There is no rush as I don't think that I will be using the PC until the weekend at the earliest because of yesterday.

By the way, what is twitch?

Thanks for all your help.

Eric

[Landscaping]

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

[Landscaping]

Hi Goetz,

You know you look after me like my late father.

I did find the place but I am more baffled than ever even after using subtitles.

Do you think that it be easier for me to try and use the one which is yours even though the dialogue is in German?
