Tutorial: Making a Surveyor 2.0 scrapbook content item that others can use

[schweitzerdude]

I have found several scrapbook scenes that others have put on the DLS. Thank you to those have done so.

But the ones I have found have a type of "misc" in content manager. This makes them difficult to spot amongst other misc items. I would have thought N3V would have designated a new type for these. A recent example is Lowes Store Complete by whamm0 uploaded on May 30, 2023.

Here is a screenshot showing the issue. Notice the arrow pointing to the deleted road spline section and also an intersection has been deleted as well among other items.

I'm pretty sure what has happened here is that by rotating using the "marquee" gizmo, you are moving the terrain and that can wipe the spline point leading to the road being deleted.

The solution is to switch to the Fine Adjustment Gizmo then click on the gizmo attached to one of the assets, not the marquee. This will deselect the ground and move just the splines and scenery in your selection.

Just wondering if someone can help with a scrapbook and payware issue/question. (Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere - I did search but couldn't find this)
I thought I would be able to use the scrapbook in S20 to copy MULTIPLE assets (I assume some are payware, and perhaps some are not) and paste to another of my routes for PERSONAL use (NOT for sharing) ..... but no - looks like I am not allowed! A big lock appears in the scrapbook window telling me that's a no no. A bit puzzled by this as I can search for and use any SINGLE payware asset in my library, in any of my routes without restriction (at least I think I can, as long as I do not attempt to share that route).
My questions are these ... Is this correct? Am I overlooking something here as this seems contradictory? Can I filter out payware assets in scrapbook to get around this?
I am just interested in using payware assets from TRS19 or TRS22PE in my own personal routes - in these games that I have purchased - (not for sharing) and wonder if this is possible with S20. Thanks, Stu

Stu,

This is correct. You can't copy payware assets and paste them between routes.

Thanks for your reply John. Cheers, Stu
