Copy & Paste

[kin3]

Is there anyway to paste other than at 90 degree angles? I want to paste bushes, etc. along the tracks but can't because of the angles.

No - there isn't.

Watch out as to only copy and paste textures as if you have to many assets in a copy and paste I've noticed whole boards that don't show up! Or I get the Sky blue screen in the copy and pasted sections.

Just a warning to use caution and fair warn other trainz creators. I've lost many baseboards due to this and considering my project below, I'm sure you can understand the labors of the why!

Cheers, William

One way would be to place the bushes on an angle in one square, set it to paste only objects so it don't blank out the track. Alternative, forget copy/paste, use Boleyage undergrowth splines along the tracks.

@ William - pretty sure that is an affliction of TS12 only. I am the king of copy/paste and in TS10 and earlier versions it is pretty much bombproof provided you aren't too greedy with the 'Copy' selection, keep the size reasonable!

@ OP - Sniper has it: lay out a short length of shrubbery at the correct angle and copy that. The copy box will look to be way too big and you have to make sure the lines of shrubbery pretty much start and finish in (or near) the corner of a grid square, but I have pasted miles of off-grid trackside shrubbery! You need to paste the shrubbery before you do anything else though because the paste-box 'overlap' area is pretty big and will wipe out anything you have already done that gets under it...

Thanks for the tips guys. You people are what makes this a great Sim/forum.

Just to add, try practising on a blank board, you'll get the hang of it in no time without damaging an existing route.
