Bridge tutorial

Hi,

I'm trying tp put a river into my route, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to make a bridge!

Could someone point me in the direction of a tutorial, please?

I know it should be easy, but I'm tearing my hair out!

many thanks

Marcus

Bridges are basically a type of track.

1) Get the height of track on the advanced pull out on the track assets tab.
2) Choose a bridge of your choice.
3) Drag the bridge between the two points across the gorge while holding the SHIFT key.
4) Apply the height you got from your tracks in step 1.
5) apply the height to both ends of the bridge.
6) Drag the track to the bridge. (It won't work going the other way around).
7) You are done!

To add to John's reply, there are some things that you may need to be aware of:-

• Some bridges are fixed length scenery objects (selected and added via the scenery object tool not the track spline tool) and cannot be stretched to any required length
• All bridges with supports (or pylons) have those supports at a fixed height (or depth below the bridge). This can mean that a bridge can have supports that do not reach the ground if the valley it is crossing is deep enough

Ace, I now have a bridge!

Thanks to you both for your help.
