want to adjust/lift terrain to meet track
I want to lift the terrain to match the track as I am making a causeway crossing, mountain inclines and etc. How does one set this? It was so easy in MSTS Route Tool. Also, turning items as one could in MSTS. All I can do with items is rotate 90 deg intervals.

Press F to match terrain to any object.
The numpad arrow keys can move and rotate objects (be sure to press R to enter rotate mode, andthe E when you're done), as can the Transform menu -
ok
great
thanksComment

This statement is not correct!The default embankments and cuttings of MSTS RE are still better & more flexible imo than TSRE.

Oh you misunderstand. I fully agree the terrain tools in TSRE far outbenefit that which comes in MSTS RE. I was being specific to the embankment & cutting tools, which are decent, but not as flexible as MSTS RE, resulting in requiring to make manual adjustments. I do understand if your being particular, even the MSTS RE embankments & cuttings need fine tuning, but most of the time I am quite satisfied with what they output, as opposed to TSRE where they dont really work properly.

Never had a complaint Joe.
The TSRE embank and cutting work ok for me.
It all depends on getting familiar with the settings. That took a while but a LOT less time than it took me to get the MSTS editor to play nice.
I DO agree the width with only 3 choices could be better, possibly adding 2 more positions on the slider might be a possible fix.
All in all TSRE is miles ahead with terrain tools. The embankment tools are okay when you find a setting that works for you.

I have spent plenty of time with the settings Vince. The results are less consistent than RE for sure, and at times leading to strange outcomes! RE throws a fit with very extreme settings (too narrow width, to high/low angle) while TSRE has a very narrow range of settings to use that changes per route/per tile/per object orientation.
I still use it though, when it plays nice, and alternately either lay NR embankment pieces or manually build them with the paint on terrain tools. Its 1 of the features I'd wish gets polished, in an otherwise vast improvement over MSTS RE.
Speaking of which, is Goku still working on the editor? He seems to have taken a break lately eh?Comment

For me TSRE embankment & cutting tools works the same way as in MSRE. Don't know what is your problem and how can I reproduce the weird stuff from your video. So, can't help.
The range of values is better in TSRE than in MSRE, I think ..
On the video I see that you mostly play with "size" attribute. In MSTS it's fixed to 2 and editing it is useless in most cases.Last edited by GokuMK; 01-03-2019, 07:56.Comment

Ok. Indeed. But you must notice the difference. In MSTS the value is defined by meters. But MSTS terrain is made of 8 m grid, so only small amount of values is possible. In TSRE this value is defined not by meters, but by terrain vertices. 1 = 8m, 2 = 16m etc.In MSTS the "size" corresponds to "width" & is adjustable all the way from 5 to 50 & more.Comment
