I am embarking on my very first route build using a DEM, and I am going to try my best and see how it goes, but I'm going to need to ask questions of various topics so I figured I'll start here. Does anyone know where I might find a bridge that is curvable and has the in the picture from this link?

Also it's a two part bridge with the other half being a box girder lime the built in one. Is there a way to remove the end abutments fro. I it so it can be used?

Hi Dej, look under username Bendorsey, he made about 5000 assets and most of them are bridges. If he did not make it, you can ask him what you want.

Thank you, I'll look into it

I Got A Bridge That's Close But Now I Can't Find The Proper Supports.

Trackside things: "Bridge support ....something".

Just type in Bridge Support in your search field.

You could also mess with invisible tracks and other supports of your choice.

Are you planning on building it all the way from Binghamton to Kase?

 

[dej]

I searched for bridge supports and I couldn't find anything that was close. And I'm not sure how far north the DEM I have goes north.

Check in your trackside objects and online. There are some bridge piers, as they're sometimes called, in there.

I will have to check when I get home from work.

Another question I thought I'd ask, how do I get accurate gradients?

 

[Mouse84]

I'll look when I get home, I think I have a track chart with grades and such.

 

[dej]

Ok and I would have to manually apply them?

 

[TorenHynes]

I don't run TS09 but I'll take a stab at this question. My best answer is unfortunantly, yes. TRS06 doesn't have a way to automatically add gradients and I don't think TS09 is any better in that regard. You'll have to be patient with your Surveyor tools.

Do you have a suggestion on where to find the information for it?

In the Track tool, click on the Advanced drop down at the bottom of the tool.

There are 3 rows of additional tools. The first row is to adjust spline points, add points, delete points, and flatten and raise the terrain under the track.
The middle is the one you are looking for. This is the gradients row. Here you can adjust and remove the gradients. The values are in percentage. Use little bits at a time because a little bit goes a long way.
The bottom row is to get and set the track height to a fixed height.

Thank You But I Knew How To Do That, I'm just not sure where to get the information to use with those tools.

This Is The Best I Could Do With What I could Find. Any Input?
