Searching Youtube I found the layout Sandrea and Burton by Igor Hernandez highlighting 3D Studio It referenced a layout I posted to SCARM software years ago before finding 3D Studio. Here: https://www.scarm.info/layouts/track_plans.php?ltp=100 Can anyone tell me if this layout is available thru 3D Studio. The site did not post that very long identification number used for searching in 3D Studio. The author did a great job and I would like a copy. Any help appreciated ! Howard

I would like to have subroutine call/return in 3D Train Studio . Guessing it may be quite an involved undertaking. But sure would be a welcomed addition. Put a request in the supplied forum here ...

I would like to have the function of "subroutine call & return" in 3D-Modellbahn Studios as implemented in other languages.

Thanks simonjackson1964 for your suggestion. Languages I've used have all had this function so I thought I was missing the technique in this language. I'm so accustomed to it, that's how I plan some routines, then realize it doesn't work that way. Tried using script condition thinking it would give me that function, and when it didn't I thought maybe I was using it wrong. Sure would be a great addition to this great program !

Trying to come up with an explanation * Event: Train enters a track --- Shut off Engine --- Wait ( Defer Execution ) --- Trigger User defined Routine ( Unload Car->Pass Info) ......... Car Unloading using User Defined "Sub-routine"... Varying Lengths of time --- [ Program Waits here for subroutine (Unload Car) to finish ] ... could Script Condition be used ??? --- Trigger User defined Routine ( Unload Car->Pass Info) ......... Car Unloading using User Defined "Sub-routine"... Varying Lengths of time --- [ Program Waits here for subroutine (Unload Car) to finish ] --- Repeat as Needed --- Start Engine --- Depart for places unknown --- End of Event Hope this helps .... I've used this technique in other languages using sub-routine Calls/Return ... so I'm accustomed to it Can it be accomplished .... what techniques do others use. The only technique I've used is "Defer Execution " between "Trigger User Defined Event" commands ... Guessing short causes issues , sometimes difficult to track down ! Thanks for all responses ...

I would like to : Be executing an event ( "event A" ), and while in the middle of that event .... Jump to "user event B" .... presumably by using "script condition" then .... return to "event A" and continue while "event A" was paused and waiting. effectively ... causing "event A" to pause until return, which could very in time depending on a condition. If it can be accomplished I'm missing the technique syntax. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

When I started .... my opening statement was one of those post was : Best Practices for Optimizing Large Layouts in 3D Train Studio? I Must have thought because of that my conversation was a continuance of the subject. In one post I read that it took a "Powerful" computer running windows 11 to achieve good FPS ... so when I purchased a new computer I was surprised that I only gained 6 to 10 frames p.s.. So I thought I was not configured correctly. Been searching for answers .... As I stated in those post ... monitoring the activity of the CPU and GPU with 3D Studio running, only 10 to 15% of their capability is being used. So naturally configuration was suspected. That is why I stated to ask question ... and "assumed" (not justified) that the subject was around "Large Programs". I still am surprised that 3D Studio is using so little of my graphics capability. And as @alexander42 stated Just exported the file .... it is 7.24 MB ...

Thanks for the input and help. Your conclusion seems accurate . I was surprised that my new computer wasn't more than 10 frames faster than my laptop type computer. As you noted, MBS is ongoing and as we challenge its capability future releases may take more advantage of computer resources and provide improvements. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying its use while learning its capabilities. Thanks a bunch

Ran the program you suggested. Hit restore from NVIDIA Control panel, nothing else. FPS 352 Score 8870 Min 12 Max 713 My monitor is connected via HDMI wireless , don't know if it has any affect. Running programs supplied by MBS i.e. "Recent Layouts" , I run 60 FPS (Monitor Speed) The one that runs slow is my current layout. Cannot publish because of sound files. It is very animated.

Again thank you for the link to the layout of @opax Great Layout and animation. Fascinating the way the people climb stairs. Never even gave that a though. Elevators with people going in/out + up/down is the way to do it. That layout gave me a lot of ideas. Some people are so clever and creative !!!! Also thanks for the heads up on posting members names. I was wondering how that was accomplished. But how do I omit the @ @hmclay

As much as this program is capable of, the manual will be quite large but worthwhile . In the meantime, maybe some hints and tricks publications from those in-the-know !!!!!

Included in layout ... first step ! Thanks for the link !

alexander42 ... thanks for the suggestions. Downloaded latest monitor drivers , changed suggested options however .... still at 13-16 FPS. Don't have a clue what is going on but still enjoying the program as is. Thanks again !

Neo, thanks for the quick response ! The Nvidia 4060 Ti card Direct X 11 level 11, is listed under graphics of 3D Train Studio. Provided some screen shots of settings ... Am I missing something ????

As I've noted in a couple of other post, I recently purchased a gaming computer to replace my 10+ year old All-In-One computer ... since I was only experiencing 6 FPS on my busy layout. To my surprise my frame rate only increased to 16 . I would be delighted to have 30-35. Using monitor programs, with 3DM running my CPU and GPU are only at 10-15% capacity. Setting graphics to low and/or off in both 3DM and Nvidia software does not change the FPS only the graphics quality. Less "busy" layouts provided thru 3DM max out at 50 ... only larger more graphics intensive layouts seem to be affected. Any thoughts ....
