debugging tracks in a new TransDEM route

[martinvk]

Created another TransDEM route to relive a childhood memory. TransDEM is great at bringing the terrain and basic spline objects to Trainz but it does tend to get confused between roads and tracks, joining them with a common junction if the junctions they are too close to each other.

Then a great feature of S2.0 comes to the rescue. If you double click on a track spline, it glows up to the next track break or junction. Either one can then be quickly fixed until the next one is found.

Hi Martin, Not sure where to start my question, but basically I have been trying to create routes for a few years now and every time I try to use TransDEM, it never works. Not sure if (Must Be!) missing a step somewhere, but it seems like its a very long process to create. Do you use or know of a specific tutorial that works?

This one I found helpful TransDEM Tutorial - Basic Trainz Route from Scratch
It was made 7 years ago but is still relevant.

Ah thank you!

Success!! Thanks Martin!
So does the resolution of the SRTM files affect how high the hills look (or are generated)? as my first attempt with a small section of a route, the hills are looking way too flat.
