Greetings funnnyfarm,
is there a way to lable and keep all the narrow gage idems in one list in Surveyor inventory
In ts2009 and trs06 you have the 'Picklist' where you can drag/drop items into. This works either from surveyor or CM2, although CM2 is much easier to add them from.
Once in Surveyor, to see your 'Pick List' items, click the 3rd icon on the top left which looks like a 'Y'
To add items to the picklist while in Surveyor drag the 'name' of the item across the screen and drop it in while the piclklist is visible.
Once really nice feature which the picklist helps to create is multiple Categories of objects as saved searches.
For example:
Lets say one wants 4 seasons of groups
1. To create a Winter Group find all the assets you want (perhaps using a search on snow, winter, etc...) and add all the items with drag/drop (used this way the Picklist acts as a place holder for your soon to be saved search)
2. Once you have all you want the items you want included select them all in the picklist (hilight the top item in the picklist, hold shift and scroll to the bottom then click the last one) while they are all higlighted click the button located in the picklist area titled "View In Map List"
3. Finally, to save this as your Category look in the 'Search' window and click the button the titled "Save"and name it something appropriate, I preface mine with the letter z so that I know it is my personal search.
Do steps 1-3 for each season/category you want.
When you are ready to work with a winter scene in Surveyor click the tab of your zWinter objects, add them to the picklist (after first clearing out any other items you dont want listed in the picklist) and go crazy in Surveyor.
Hope this helps you get the most out of a wonderful feature.
Regards,
Lenny
we both know what assumptions do.....
