Placing Objects In Tunnels

[niknak]

Hi guys, Could some kind soul please advise me of procedure used to place an object ( signal, sound source etc ) in a tunnel? When I go to place something inside a tunnel it just disappears into the twilight zone. I realise this is a very basic question but I can't see the problem addressed in the TSRE Manual. Thanks.

Hi niknak
First make a copy of your tiles folder -- "TILES - Copy"
Then reduce the land to track level through the tunnel by selecting each tunnel track piece and pressing "F"
You then have your tunnel track accessible to place objects as required.
Save your route.
Delete the Tiles folder and rename the copy as Tiles.

Thanks for responding Garry.. I've followed your instructions but when I go to place the sound file pillar on the piece of track I've highlighted after reducing the land to track level nothing happens - I have to go outside of the tunnel mouth in order to place the sound pillar on the track and then slide it inside by using the arrow keys, as I did previously.

There is a 'Stick to Everything' mode for the placement crosshairs which will stick to tunnel wall, along with any objects. I think the key command is Shift-Q, but it may take a couple tries.

Also, the / key lets the camera go under terrain. No need for terraforming

The Shift+Q does more or less what I want. Many thanks!
