Help with rotating objects in new 2.0
- Thread starter Jayco-man
- Start date
Is there a special hot key to use after you pick something to rotate, like before you used to use the shift key, but it doesn't work in 2.0?
There's no hotkey for that, but there is the object adjustment function - I'm really sure what it's called actually. This is second over from the left on the bottom row.
Click on that then click on the asset. There's now a gyroscope around the asset. Clicking on the ring around the asset allows you to rotate it. You can also enter in the numbers in the panel located on the right for more precise rotation - I can't remember what that's called actually since I'm going from memory.
If you're talking about the fine adjustment tool, well that just went out the window, cause it not worth much at all. Thats what I mean you just try to barley move the mouse and its flipping around all over the place. How do you select a consist, try to pick it and all it does is pick one car?.

Double-click it
The fine adjustment (Ctrl-LMB Rotate) hasn't worked well for ages. It used to be easy to fine tune but now way over sensitive. We need a field where the desired rotation or height can be input, as the same affliction affects the height adjustment tool.
Definitely agree! It's really hard to set something in the right orientation when its jumping all over the place.

1. Consists are selected by double clicking
2. Using Ctrl-LMB in S20 with Fine Adjustment tool will rapidly duplicate the object selected (ctrl-click is "clone") [We probably need to do something about that since it isn't obvious you've added dozens of objects on top of each other while trying the old modifier key).
3. Dragging the blue circle seems a little sensitive - it's hard to get a 1% rotation for example [so that needs tweaking - agreed]
4. "We need a field where the desired rotation or height can be input" - it is there already in the Info tool. The Rot files will rotate at any degree (down to decimal places). So this is the best way of making super-fine adjustments.
Can those seeing "way over sensitive" movement please provide a video to demonstrate the issue more clearly.

Some suggestions...
Ctrl-LMB + drag = single clone.
Ctrl+Alt-LMB + drag = multiple clone.
Move the clone option to the pop up menu. You have Cut, Copy, Paste & Delete. You could add Clone to this list.
I'm sure others can come up with other suggestions too.

maybe was not very clear but I too have said it in the post #5
What could be really usefull is to be able to rotate more objects of one type (like 30 or 40 street lights) with the same relative rotation degree at once i/o to do it one by one
Or, at the very least, give us a text box where we can enter a rotational (or height) value before clicking one or more pieces of content. This would be the same thing as getting and using spline height, or track gradient.
Bill
There already is. From Tony's post above.

Hi Bill - it's there. https://docs.trainzsimulator.com/docs/using-the-info-palette
Sorry. I can not find any reference to an "info palette" anywhere in build 116678. The only thing I can find is the usual "?" and this shows nothing at all other than allowing me to name the object. There is no 'down arrow" for objects other than that normally available for splines.

You'll find this information in S 2.0 not the Classic Surveyor.
So why do I keep getting referenced to this 2.0 when I don't have it? or, on the other hand, is this 2.0 somehow activated by a setting somewhere else in the interface? Or, does it not exist for this build of TS2019? I'd really like to know.
Bill
Surveyor 2.0 is only available in TRS22 and Trainz Plus.
You access that, if you have Plus, by clicking on the tools menu and switching between the old Surveyor and Surveyor 2.0
