RE: My loco is sinking into rails - what shoud be adjus
Unlike most other parts, the MAIN part needs to have it's centerpoint widget position adjusted to ground level, or in other words... the value should be zero , or darn close. (Y = 0)The reason it's halfway underground is because it is placing the main part's centerpoint at track height. Once you shift the widget, not the part, it should be corrected.

I design my rolling stock with wheel treads at 0 altitude then set the main pivot point at minus .054 meters to get the wheels to set on the top of the rail.Larry

I do the same (-0.0545m), because the in-game world axis is measured halfway between the top of the rail and its bottom.Darn Kuju math. Cheers! Marc - 3DTrains http://www.3dtrains.comPro Series SuperPacks
