5m digholes

TinHare · Jun 18, 2020

I need to trim 5m off the edge of my layout but the smallest digholes take off 10m. I deleted all the digholes that I intially made to lower the floor and so I have no grid to work with except what remains of my baseboard. The 10m digholes centre on the 5m spot but delete everything to the next 5m spot. I only want to delete 5m. Is this even possible?

Sorry I made a mistake with sizing, - post deleted.

I'm afraid the short answer is no. But it would be very useful.

I ended up just copying the whole route to another baseboard and moving it 5m sideways. Not the most efficient way of dealing with the problem!

This is why some of us now prefer to work with the full height edging splines - some disguised as cupboard doors, see the concurrent thread and screenshots about Seaton - which removes most of the faff associated with trying to create the illusion of a baseboard off the ground.

Not a model Trainz fan but you can offset digholes in the config using the snapmode tag

Where n is either 0 (default) , 1 or 2. Use snapmode to enable snapping of a scenery object to the snap grid. 0 will disable grid snapping (default), 1 will enable grid snapping, 2 will enable an offset grid snapping. Offset grid snapping will cause objects to be snapped to the grid but will also offset the object’s position by ½ the grid size – essentially positioning the object in between the normal grid lines.

Useful advice - thank you, Malc
