Some more comments on S2.0

While I do just about all of my route creating in S2.0, there are still two activities that require a return to the Classic version.

We are all familiar with the bulk update feature that is a work in progress for 2.0. While small scale updates and replacements are easy in 2.0, double click to select a long stretch of a spline or select multiple instances of an object, if your route spans many, many boards, finding and selecting every last one can be a pain. That's where the Classic with its "everywhere" parameter comes in handy. Wish they would hurry up and add that to S2

The second feature that I find very handy is when I want to show and mark contour lines. I Classic, I simply add some water and raise it to the required elevation. Then using a suitable spline, I trace the new shoreline. Then raise or lower the water and repeat. Once done, delete the water and I have a set of contour lines. I know there is a water effect layer in S2.0 but so far I find it too fiddly.

The Bulk Replacement feature is in the current (retail) Trainz Plus S2.0 release but works on the entire layout only. The latest beta version (b133407 et al) has a more advanced version that allows you to restrict the replacement to the current baseboard or to a selected area only.
