I have the trainz utc and would like to play around with my own track layouts. problem is there is no included manual to explain how to change track height. i think i have terrain basically figured out but i can't seem to adjust tracks. Is there anyone out there that can help me?
 
I have TRS2006 but I would like to offer assistance...I still think that Surveyors Operators & Engineers thread is a perfect place to post a new topic on just "Tracklaying, Curves & Gradients". Also this forums IM is a great way to get almost instant answers to any questions. Yahoo IM is instantanious conversation, and help is moments away.

There is a track height up/down button where you drag the mouse and where you can lift the track.

There also is in Surveyor/Topography there is a place where you can type in the track height, or gradient, and apply that numeral you type in.

Most mainline gradients are much less than 2%.

Some branchlines gradients are in excess of that, and have much tighter curves like: "FT 15 Degree 60m Radius". I belive the Horseshoe Curve is the equivilent of a: "FT 15 Degree 200m Radius"
