a skecthup and traincar question

[jamal17]

Im making a train in sketchup and i want to know if i can create the bogey with the train that I'm making or do i have to make the car and the bogey separately?

jamal17, you have to create the traincar, interior, and bogies separately.

Make them separate but the easy way is to reference an existing bogey.

John: Why did you say them separate?? Is it just that it easier or what?

 

[jamal17]

so can I make the bogey and interior in sketchup and then add them to the train when they go to GMAX?

 

[jeffmorris]

jamal17, you create the traincar, interior, and one bogey separately in GMAX and use KUID numbers to reference the interior and bogey in the traincar's config.txt file.

As JeffMorris mentioned that's the way Trainz is set up.
