Another possibility is the search function on the forum. This question has been answered dozens of times and I'm sure a search for 'height adjustment' or something similar would have returned something useful.

Yes, a search would have returned something useful, about 126 somethings useful, that I found just now. Of which, only a very select few actually had a topic heading that stipulated height adjustment not functioning in the same way this thread was addressing.

To me it makes more sense for everyone on the forum to simply ask their question, in a forum area that, as far as can be determined, to be the proper area to present their issue and those who wish to respond to offer their experience, rather than many here who prefer to point out that the question or issue presented has been dealt with in another forum area.

In a perfect world, everyone would posit a question within the parameters everyone could universally understand. But this is not a perfect world, nor are human beings perfect entities who know how to present and find answers to their questions as a few experienced members seem to be able to do. At least not until they have gained experience and have come to understand how this forum functions, and how a few wish it would function to better suit their view of what this forum should be.

In short, an issue was presented, a solution was offered and that solution was noted by the individual who asked for help as being what was needed. Does it really matter there are 125 or more other threads that addressed the same issue, many only after a long discourse regarding other issues, and some in a manner not readily apparent to others that it provides a solution to their needs. And if it does matter so much, why are there permitted to be 125 or more threads that all address the same issue?

Experience is nice to have and valuable in resolving new and old issues, but everyone is at their own level and need help and may not know as well as others how to ask for help and in which specific thread to ask for that help or guidance.

It's nice to be important, and knowlegable and experienced, but it's more important to be nice and understanding.

My answer was based on the apparently similar level of experience the original poster has to myself. Granted, it's not a scientific formula but it's the best we can go on. I wasn't getting at patchy but perhaps patchy was unaware of the search function? Maybe you hadn't considered that though.

It doesn't take a great deal of experience to use a search, but it does take a bit of patience to go through multiple results as you have discovered. I know for certain, my knowledge of Trainz is tiny compared to some, but I always search for my answer first if I think it is something that may have been answered before, regardless if there are 1 or 201 results in a search.

I had certainly considered that.

My point was, whether or not Patchy or anyone else who posts in these forums, tries a search before starting a new thread, it seems more than frustrating to be told that there are threads that address the issue presented. Merely stating that offers no help, and only leads to further frustration in using not only the forums, but Trainz itself. At the very least, someone who feels it is within their pervue to advise another member that there are other threads that address the issue should at the very minimum provide one or two links to threads that address the issue. Merely stating there are other threads and to use the search function to find them is of no help whatsoever.

Try holding down ctrl, shift, or alt while moving the object.
