Gap Tool

[landnrailroader]

Friends,

Making a gap is easy. But how in the world do you fill a gap you don't need. The manual mentions doing water first but I cannot get that to work either. Issue is that I have around 10 tunnels to make on the current route and around 30 on another, then 20+ on a third. In MSTS/RE this was fairly easy but TSRE seems a mystery to me. The route will be released operational but otherwise incomplete so absolute perfection is not required and my 87 year old fingers may not be all that steady anyway.

Set the Gaps tool to negative (Gaps -) and click somewhere near the edge of the gap to be filled. It might take a couple tries, but it should work

I wish the "where to click" made more sense. Perhaps Goku knows but nobody else seems to.

Ebner, Eric,

I did figure out that you put the pointer on the edge line of what is visible and click. If that does not work, go to another edge line and try. Usually it works after a try or two but then sometimes it fills in much more than is desired. I did one test route in Trainworks years ago and they used a 'decal' which could have most any shape to make a hole, but both TRAINZ and MSTS have very imprecise methods.
