"Like all the Pofig'd routes, the route needs to be brought up in TS12, in this case, and trees substituted. I use the Auran speedtrees they are ugly and easy to find."
This would be great, if I had Trainz 12.
As far as replacing them, is there a way to do it without diving into the confusing and time consuming mess that is CM?
Use the search and replace function in Surveyor. I can't remember if it's there in TRS2006 though.
If it is do the following.
Go into CM first and get a list of dependencies of your route.
Sort the dependencies by author.
Scroll down until you see Pofig
Highlight all those Pofig assets and drag those to the pick list.
Close CM
Open up Trainz Surveyor
Go to a blank spot on your route. I added in a totally blank baseboard on one route.
Open up the filter and the Pofig trees will appear in the pick list in the bottom half.
Click on one of them.
This will open up the Surveyor assets with this Pofig tree highlighted.
Open up the Replace Assets utility from the main menu
Drag this into the asset to be replaced spot.
Find an asset you want to replace it with and put that in the other spot.
Click replace and get a coke, coffee, or take a nap, depending upon how many of these trees of this type you need to replace.
Save, repeat with the next one, and so on.
I was able to replace 4,196 trees on one route in about 2 days.
