I am getting increasingly frustrated with the way height readings for spline endpoints are sometimes from base 0.0 and sometimes seem to relate to the ground or other object beneath the spline.
I am trying to model a track layout that runs for much of its length on a viaduct but then on ground. The ground is generally at +3.0m and the viaduct at +9.0m sloping down at the end to the +3.0m. Some of the spline endpoints on the track on the viaduct give height as +9.0 but some are at +12.0m [seemingly making the viaduct 9.0m above the 3.0m ground]. The old Surveyor 1.0 had levels all above base 0.0 which is the logical way. Have I done something odd or do the heights in S 2.0 vary from relative to absolute heights?
Hoping for clarity in the fog!
