Change Spline Angle?

I know that you, in Surveyor, can have the front end of a spline higher / lower than the other end; in other words, have the circle at one end of the spline higher than the one at the other end. But, can you, in Content Manager, edit the spline to where the left side of the spline is higher / lower than the right side?
 
What asset ? (spline) kuid and name
Usually a spline is adjusted manually by tugging on the one spline point circle ... or adjusted by applying a typed in gradient numeral in surveyor.
Why would you want to change it in CM ?
What is the application ?
What are you trying to achieve ?
 
I've found splines like the one on the right ("building spline 01" <kuid2:70030:38100:127> and "Background2" <kuid:59940:16>), but it appears whoever made them originally set them up to where you can't reskin them.

Due to that I am wanting to reskin a clone I made of a spline that is like the one on the left ("Conc Slab 20 m" <kuid:30671:38006>). I want to reskin the clone, turn it 90 degrees, and use it as one of the sides of a particular building.

Based on the simplicity of the spline and the amount of work to turn it 90 degrees, to me it sounds less work to just create a new spline. I mean, it is "just" a rectangular mesh with a texture.
 
There are a few brick wall splines on the dls, wouldnt it be easier to use one of those, even if you replace the texture with your own ?

<KUID2:93112:37038:127>
<KUID:134105:29158>
Are a couple I found.

No, you cannot do that in Content Manager, you need the original mesh file from gmax or other program in order to modify it. It would be easier to make it from scratch I would think. (Maybe in the new Trainz we will get rotatable spline points and can do banked track)
 
oknotsen, I don't know how to make a spline.

gfisher, thank you for telling me whether or not you can turn them. Like I just told oknotsen, I don't how to do make one.

BLACKWATCH, I was just using those splines to show what I was talking about concerning a spline being horizontal or vertical. Regardless of what decoration the spline presently has on it, the height that I would like the wall to be is the height that the "building spline" is in this picture.

If it's possible to make a vertical spline like that taller / shorter in Content Manager let me know. That might work.
