Smooth Spline Adjustment???

[CofG509]

Is there a way to adjust how high the ground comes up on a spline when using the smooth spline tool? I would like for the ground to come up half on an embankment instead of the very bottom or the very top.

I don’t think it works like that. You might need to do it in 2 steps. First lay the spline at the height you want the ground to come to and use the smooth tool. Then adjust the spline up to the height you want it to be.

@Dinorius_Redundicus is correct. The smooth spline tool will bring the ground up to reach the current spline height. I just tested his suggested solution and it works.

I was just wondering if there was a way in the embankment(s) I'm using, config file, to adjust the default height the ground snaps to when the smooth spline tool is used. If not, I'm definitely going to try your trick.

I would not play around with the config.txt settings of any asset, unless there was no other alternative which there is in this case, for any number of reasons.

What is the best spline to use for this? What is the best radius to use to set for however many tracks you have?

 

[Dinorius_Redundicus]

I think you want a spline made from repeat units that are short for good flexibility, certainly no longer than the size of the terrain grid. I’m not sure what radius setting you’re referring to. My impression is that the width of the smoothed terrain under the spline is related to the terrain grid size.

That is my experience as well.

Again in my experience use track splines or the new ruler splines (not the old multicoloured rainbow rulers).
