    Flex and Ruler

    Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to use Flex and the Ruler?

    All I've been able to figure out with the ruler is that the T key will allow me to do clicked points instead of a click and drag...

    Hi Eric,

    Flex - as it pertains to Dynamic Track? Yeah - just place a Dynamic Track - click Flex - click the end of the track you want it to connect to - and it will connect the dynamic track automatically. It has to be reasonable - as you can [KRASH is blocked for language?] KRASH TSRE - if it can't make the connection with a couple of curves and straights. Save before Flex.

    The Ruler - yeah - give me one second to refresh. I've used it many times. The real advantage for the Ruler is that "Auto Paint" will paint the Terrtex beneath it. I think [T] is the only option - as you know - to create a point.

    Regards,
    Scott

      Yes, it's blocked thanks to some younglings still looking for instructions on how to make the Destructo-Train 2001... I figured adults trying to use the word would be more able to come up with an alternate. Thanks for proving that.

      The ruler is quite useful for creating road paths where there are no roads. I expect to have ATV's cruising around the Gila Sub if I ever get around to building them.

        Looks like I got my answer on why the word was 'blurred' whilst I'm checking through some threads, I would assume ossie found his answer as well after making a single use container thread in The Yard sub-forum to find that one of the words on his posts was 'blurred'.

          The rouler can be used to define paths for car spawners. E.g. for walking people.
