Kitbashing a Metra Electric Highliner II

[DARTrider]

Hello!

I had the idea in my head for a while, what if I took CloakedGhost's Metra cab cars, cloned them, slapped a pantograph on them, lowered a portion of the rear of the locomotive and eliminated some windows there? Problem is, I have no idea how I'd add a pantograph in the first place! I'd like to just take one from another asset and frankenstein the thing on to the top of the cab car, but how does one do that? If anyone has any ideas as to how I could do that, let me know.

Thank you!

You need the attachment maker to add an attachment point on the roof for the pantograph. The pantograph of course is referenced from something of your choice. You may need to adjust the height of the pantograph depending upon which one you use.

Interesting, thanks! How would I put the pantograph on the locomotive once an attachment point is added?

That part I don't know. I recommend looking at some other modified asset that uses the attachment maker, and also take a look at the documentation. PEV (Peter) does a great job with documentation and samples on how to use his programs.
