Disappointed from the SIM

[volodya]

I decided to make a new tunnel (those one made for ICE in Germany. Really good shape of the entrance).
This was for me the first try to make something by my self and successfully to put into the sim. After few hours and many attempts and efforts to figured out how to solve any single problem finally i succed. But there was still one problem. The cuted mesh of the ground was to big and i simply had a hole in the ground. Soon i realized why every single tunnel is with big entrance and that this is situation i can not change. I have knowledge of 3d programs and understand why it always cut 2 cells and there is no other way except covering them. At least i can suggest for the next version to make it somehow in cases like this one to build another faces to cover the object as close as possible.

Thank you for reading my complaint

There is a way to reduce the size of tunnel mouths by using the "dighole" technique, however I have not used it myself. Some other more experienced "surveyors" may be able to help. You may also want to check out the Content Creators Guide to see if there is any further help in there (look for the sticky post in the Content Creators Support threads).

Cheers

Yes ok, but you may know the shape of the entrance of this tunnel is allmost exactly like the shape of the tunnel tube. The hole in the mesh should be really precise and i don't think that it could be possible by only reducing the tunnel mouth. It's still will be far from the right shape

You can remove a hole the size of one baseboard square. You cannot remove anything smaller than that.

Have a look at the AJS Tunnel Kit, it gives you plenty of scope and includes some splines to hide the hole and clean up around the entrance, take a little bit of care to impliment but well worth it
