Importing From TransDEM Issue

Can I add images & track individually from TransDEM into my existing Trainz 2019 layout without having to delete the baseboards?

As it appears I have to delete the existing baseboard(s), therefore losing my existing work.

Or, if I generate a new layout from TransDEM can I somehow copy the track & images, then paste them onto my existing baseboard?
 
Hi,

I might misunderstand, but in case I do not, the answer is yes.

It's a little bit work, possible complicated would also be a word to use;

I used several exports from TransDEM to add various layers of tracks, and those 3D images I can get out of TransDEM overlaying each other using Layers for each block occupying the same space.

The way I remember it was that I picked put of the Trainz Editing Folder the various files and saved a separate place and after doing my various exports, I renamed the various pieces and put it all together.
-> BUT, my mind say now that I can't recall this correctly, as Trainz used to use only 1 track file, one object file, one ground file, hence, I must have done it differently, just no longer recall how.

So, I possible should have just shut up, but, I wanted to share that it is possible to use TransDEM to add images and tracks unto Trainz maps, but, I think it all stops at the T:ANE level as N3V changed the way Trainz works on the ground, tracks and object level, in later versions and TransDEM can't read, work/write out those files.

My mind still say it should be possible, but it is a a lot of swapping of files and maybe the newer Trainz are not working like I know the old ones, so everything above may just me me babbling.

I regret typing, but I want to leave it still here in case someone else is having something more up to date info to add, as mine is several years old and is based on older experiences.

Hello,

Have a look at this https://forum.transdem.de/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=592 ( answer nr 2 ( Geophil ( Roland ).

and https://forum.transdem.de/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=657

When you start with Transdem from the beginning you can perfectly import the route/images/track/etc in TRS2019. Before starting the route, you have to know exactly what kind of images, track, etc you need.

However, editing your route, made in Trs2019, by using Transdem is not possible.

I have been searching for some straightforward solution, being useable for alle Transdem/TRS2019 users. I have been thinking into the merge route direction, layers direction, but up to now no useable solution for a large route has been found.

Kind regards,

Kurt :wave:

Unfortunately, you can't add images and track from TransDEM to a current Trainz 2019 layout without deleting the baseboards. But you might be able to copy the track and pictures from a new layout made by TransDEM and paste them onto the baseboard you already have. You can go to the official TransDEM website (https://www.transdem.com/) to learn more about how to use it with Trainz 2019. You can also find helpful lessons online, like this one from Trainz A New Era: https://trainza.com/setting-up-and-using-transdem-in-tane/.
