Assist with bending a element – Extensions


I have already got “Truebend” however for what I would like it doesn’t work nicely. I’m making ready to construct a “G Gauge” mannequin prepare format based mostly on an precise yard and sawmill the place I dwell. I’m coping with round two miles of observe in a single path and a few mile within the different path. I’ve developed a full-scale cross part of observe in Sketchup
2022. I even have the mainline (two-mile part) however there are a number of curves and grade modifications in it together with a river crossing. I would really like to have the ability to pin down one finish and as i place the observe (which is a single group two miles lengthy) on the middle line pin it to the centerline like pinning down a chunk of boiled spaghetti. As soon as down I may freeze it in place so it turns into a part of the underlying terrain. Any Concepts?? George


Possibly you should utilize Profile Builder 3 for the railing assemblyes.

I might be inclined to attempt a sequence of single strains or arcs representing the underside centreline of the observe.

“Lay” the centreline (or observe edge) one facet of the observe a piece at a time.

Offset by the the space between the observe centrelines, then use Eneroth’s Upright Extruder extension to create the rails.

And possibly use Profile Builder to put the sleepers, or Copy Alongside Path.

Needs to be simpler than attempting to bend an assembled pair of tracks and sleepers.

Sooner or later – maybe when you could have simply two strains – drape them onto the terrain.

I believe I’m utilizing the fallacious program. There’s a sketchup like program known as SCARM that’s designed for doing the format be just right for you. Thanks in your assist.
