I have already got “Truebend” however for what I want it doesn’t work nicely. I’m getting ready to construct a “G Gauge” mannequin practice format based mostly on an precise yard and sawmill the place I stay. I’m coping with round two miles of monitor in a single course and a couple of mile within the different course. I’ve developed a full-scale cross part of monitor in Sketchup
2022. I even have the mainline (two-mile part) however there are a number of curves and grade adjustments 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 monitor (which is a single group two miles lengthy) on the middle line pin it to the centerline like pinning down a bit of boiled spaghetti. As soon as down I might freeze it in place so it turns into a part of the underlying terrain. Any Concepts?? George
Perhaps you need to use Profile Builder 3 for the railing assemblyes.
I might be inclined to strive a collection of single strains or arcs representing the underside centreline of the monitor.
“Lay” the centreline (or monitor edge) one aspect of the monitor a piece at a time.
Offset by the the gap between the monitor centrelines, then use Eneroth’s Upright Extruder extension to create the rails.
And perhaps use Profile Builder to put the sleepers, or Copy Alongside Path.
Needs to be simpler than making an attempt to bend an assembled pair of tracks and sleepers.
Sooner or later – maybe when you’ve simply two strains – drape them onto the terrain.
I believe I’m utilizing the incorrect program. There’s a sketchup like program known as SCARM that’s designed for doing the format give you the results you want. Thanks on your assist.
I wouldn’t have stated it’s “SketchUp like” however it’s glorious for planning your mannequin railway. I’ve used it for simply that objective.
