I will start by saying that I've been away from Trainz for a little while, after what could only have been described as another crushing blow to my psyche after a route I had been working on turned to mush. I returned recently as something to occupy my time while I've been on holiday break from work. I started a new route again, this one much smaller than any of my previous attempts, in the hopes that maybe I can actually finish one before everything self-destructs, but that's not the point here.
Given the experiences I've had over the last two weeks, I need to say that, among other somewhat disappointing revelations about Surveyor 2.0, I think perhaps one of the most egregious failings is that selecting multiple splines or spline points, either using Shift+Click or the Marquee tool, and then using the Spline details (for track condition) OR Spline Point details (for superelevation), does NOT actually modify all of the selected spline or spline point details? What on EARTH is the point of being able to select multiple items, which in all reality SHOULD be an improvement over the original Surveyor, if I cannot edit the details of them all at the same time???? What has happened instead, is that I've discovered it's actually FASTER to edit these in the original because it only ends up being a single click on EVERY SINGLE SPLINE POINT in order to set my superelevations one spline point at a time, whereas Surveyor 2.0 ends up requiring TWO clicks for the menu and then the details. I haven't really tried, but I assume that this failing also applies to the "Details" window of any other type of object as well.
Am I missing something here? Because if not, Seriously. Who thought that was a good idea?
