Adding cabs

Can anyone tell me how I can add a cab from another loco or unit to the 4CIG emu which does not have one.

Many thanks
Jeff
 
As long as you are keeping it for your personal use, you can add the necessary points through the following procedure:

1 - make an extra mesh in GMax, consisting of a very small plane (I use 1x1 cm) at height 0 or less (so it should be hidden by ballast, or by the ground surface) with two points named a.cabfront and a.cabback, positioned more or less where you think the cabs should be located;

2 - add an entry for this additional mesh in the mesh-table of the config of the loco, and add the "interior" tag with the KUID of the interior you wish to use;

3 - after testing the loco in Trainz, adjust the position of the points using Attachment Editor until you achieve the correct position and orientation (I often end up looking the rear wall of the cab :D )

Cheers
