Attaching spline points to ground surface again?

[davidbird]

From http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trainz/Tips_And_Tricks#Splines

If a spline point displays with a white dashed circle in Surveyor, that means it is attached to the ground at that point, and will change height if the height of the ground changes. If the point is displayed with a yellow dashed circle that means the spline point has a fixed height, and will not change if the ground height changes (but note that the circle is always white when viewed against the wireframe background).

Is there any way of reversing this once done? ie making the spline points attached to the ground again, so the height changes with the ground?
Thanks

You could meticulously measure each and ever track spline point ... and by using a calculator, lower each and every track spline point, all manually by hand, by -0.02m

Yes unlock the spline points, use the remove gradient button in advanced, use the adjust spline button to lock it again by just touching the spline.

You can always add or adjust the following tags as indicated below to the track container in the config.txt.

track
{
mesh-length 12.015
adjust-height-to-ground-threshold -0.01 ---- this one
adjust-height-to-ground-offset -0.48 ---- this one too
.
l
.
l
.
}

etc. There are more things that follow. This is the only thing you need to add or adjust

Make sure you have a backup in case you change your mind. I suggest experimenting with the parameters until you get your desired results. These are the ones that I found helpful prevent the track from floating and fill in the ballast underneath.

Any way of doing it globally, ie for all splines, track, roads, fences, etc, in a route?

 

[JCitron]

I don't think this will work for roads or fences, but it definitely works for track if you add these parameters to the track, this will take affect globally. Perhaps Clam or someone else with more spline creating experience can chime in on this.

... use the remove gradient button in advanced ...

Thanks Clam
I'm back working on the route again, this works sufficiently well for my purposes. It does need each individual spline point doing, but means I can choose which fences/hedges/roads to do and keep the tracks as they are.
