RE: What do You think?

It's very good. Smoothed curves, semi-real straight rails.... Good job!
Cheers.

RE: What do You think?

Looks good but I think you should use switch objects from switch itself rather than just curves placed as free objects. Tim Frost

I believe you adjust the direction of offset and/or direction of travel in the program to get the configuration you want.Possibly putting the first one through the Mirror utility would work also. You need to convert the B3D file to CSV using the convertor first,in order to use the Mirror.

I don't mean the regular curves, I mean the ones that are used as switches above: What do You think? – image 18 And they could be used as rails still but this just made more sense to me.Tim Frost
