Is it possible to set the pantograph height manually in any of the engine files. The cantenary gantries set the wire at ~6.3 meters. How do I make the pickup shoe meet that height?Thanks,
Hank

Most pantographs and trolley poles are built as part of the model. It's not possible to change it, short of having the TSM/GMax/3DS/etc. source files.One option is to kindly ask the creator if they could build you a modified version, with the panto at the right height for you.Dan

Another option is to raise/lower the wire on the route's properties. If it bothers you that the gantries no longer meet the wire, you can modify the gantry length in Shaper File Manager.
