Aug-26-01, 01:41 PM (EST) 1. "RE: Double Slip Switch" There is a a1tdblslip10d.s file in the Global/Shapes folder (as well as the corresponding *.sd); maybe one or more texture files are needed too: RE will tell you if it needs them.There is also a manual version and a single slip: a1tsglslip10d.s.I have not imported these, but imagine it might work if you import the .s and .sd files to your route's Shape folder (and any .ace texture files to your Textures folder).On another topic: I enjoyed your L route. Have you tried making those long chains of bridges by the "doubling and redoubling" approach? It works like this: You set up the first bridge section very precisely. Then you copy and paste that first section (select the first, press Ctrl-C, press F5, point the mouse and press Ctrl-V): the copy has the same orientation as the first. Now align the copy with the first section, making a double-length bridge. Next select BOTH (select one, then Ctrl+select the second), and copy and paste the PAIR. Keep the pair selected while moving them into place simulataneously. Next select the FOUR existing sections, and copy, paste and position them TOGETHER. Next do that for 8 sections at once, then 16 at once, then 32 at once,... Things speed up enormously that way! (RE may run out of field of view with such huge bridge pieces, so you will probably stop doubling at some point.)Michael Vone Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
