I've tried many tutorials on learning GMAX but I'm yet to find one single tutorial that doesn't end up not working out after just a few steps.
Example: http://www.worldoftrainz.com/Pages/Tutorials_TRS2006/GmaxLocomotive/GmaxLocomotiveChapter1TutTRS.htm
I'm currently at step 5.
I have done up to figure 9 in step 5 with the snap Endpoint and Midpoint turned on with everything else turned off.
I try moving my first box in place but no matter which corner I try to move it snaps to the corner but ends up looking like this:
Clearly the corners of my boxes do not match up with the angle of the MainBase object. I've tried moving the smaller box with each of the 4 corners, and to each of the 4 MainBase corners but no matter which way I do it I still end up with the wrong result. The box the guide refers to says yellow but the example and in my GMAX the box is blye/cyan, but not yellow.
With over 3 years searching I'm yet to find a single tutorial that doesn't present similar problems.
Apologies if I broke any rules by posting the image, if I'm supposed to do as a link or some other way tell me and I'm happy to chage it.
