John,
I have followed you on Trainz for a long time and you know your stuff. Many thanks for helping me! John you mentioned the following: I think you can save your route.
Setup a blank baseboard.
Merge your Seaview route into that.
It doesn't matter that the blank route is at a different height because you can delete that afterwards anyway if you wish.
Save the route with the same name that you were using before maybe with a revision number or something.
John, I would not know how to do the above. Could you walk me through this procedure? Thanks in advance!!
Bruce
Edit: I opened the same Seaview Railroad file that I have been working with and I added 2 more baseboards on each end, but on the bottom it will not allow me to add any. I totally don't understand!!
That's definitely weird!
Okay see if this makes sense.
At the main menu when you start TRS19, click on the Driver/Surveyor button if you are there and not already on the screen with the routes showing.
Click on Create Route.
Enter the route information.
A single 720 x 720 blank baseboard will appear.
Click on the Tools menu. (The one with the wrench).
Click on Merge Route...
Search the list for your route.
Click on your route Seaview route and click the checkbox.
After a minute, or maybe a bit more or less,
A smaller window will appear. You may or may not see red exclamation points on the Merge Terrain button.
Zoom out using the scroll wheel until you see where the two routes are located.
Using the arrows, move the Seaview around until it's butting against the single baseboard and not overlapping. If it's overlapping the baseboard will be red.
This part is complete... Notice that the exclamation point over the terrain is cleared if there was one.
Now you need to fix layers if that layer button is red and most likely will be.
For any layer that there's a duplicate, you need to merge them into the other. Nearly 99% of the time it's the route-layer that's the culprit. There's no need to touch the other TransDem layers if there are any because they're not conflicting with anything else.
Click on the lower of the two route-layers *they'll be red*
Click on the merge layers button in the bottom part of the menu.
The layers will be separated with route layers on the left and session layers on the right.
Click on the checkbox to confirm merging.
The process can take a few minutes depending upon the size of the route.
The merge process is complete.
Save your new route so you don't have to do this again and try the add baseboards process again.
