SEAPORT

[emmaroyd]

I have added a seaport to my layout.
I am wanting to add more track to it.
When I try this I get the revolving spline ends, but no track. If I extend the spline end beyond the seaport boundary the track appears - but at a slightly lower level than the seaport. I have tried to raise the spline height to get the track into view - but to no avail.

Any clues or helpful tips please.

If memory serves me here...I haven't used the built-in seaport in a long time...you cannot connect additional track within the seaport. You can lay additional track that runs through the seaport, but as you have noticed it sits at the underlying terrain grade, rather than the seaport paving surface. All you need to do is raise the spline points slightly and your new track will show up.

Take the tool that checks height of spline points and use it where the standard Seaport track ends to get that height. Then use the button for setting that height on the ends of your track.

Thanks for that - works fine.
If you set the vertex height for 1.15 on one of the spline ends of the track you have added and use track only it looks very prototypical, with the new track rail tops at just the same height as the ones downloaded. You can then have track crossing at right angles, and so on just as in a typical dock
