How to lay Tunnels ?

[stockline]

Is their a "How to Guide" or a Manual on how to add tunnels in surveyor I have 2010EE and haven`t got a clue , when i try to lay a tunnel and then lift the surrounding grassed area to cover it ,it blocks the track inside with grass in the tunnel as well , Basically I just dont know what i`m doing when it comes to adding tunnels and could do with an online guide .

Hi stockline,

I don't think there is a guide to just tunnels, but it is not difficult realy you just have to remember some basic points. After laying the tunnel make sure you set your spline points to a specific height with the height tool, if you don't the spline points will go up and down with the terrain. Once you have your tunnel laid and rails alligned and connected set the spline height and smooth the ground to the rails. Next raise the ground over the tunnel and the portal right to the end spline, when you release the mouse button the portal will uncover and the ground arround it will be raised. This applies to most tunnles except the JVC tunnels, they require the use of a dighole item.

Hope this helps,

If you use Andi Smith's (Andi06) tunnel kit or any of the variations based on Andi's kit you may find this tutorial useful:
