The steps there are what I followed, as well as my 10 year old son, and they will walk you through things. My guess is you didn't hight light the area to make the tiles.David Klemm

"RE: Route Geometry Extractor" LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-02 AT 01:11 AM (EST)LAST EDITED ON Apr-12-02 AT 01:10 AM (EST)I, too, observed the same glitch with RGE this evening, the first time I tried this feature of MSTS. I had the area highlighted and right-clicked, finding the same result as did the original poster of this thread.It worked fine at first, calling up a grid that allowed me to add tiles. Of 62 tiles selected, however, only two were created, then when attempting to Add Tiles, I found that it was greyed out and I was unable to do so. Whether I try a new route or edit an existing route, the RGE no longer permits me to create a grid.There's nothing in the Help files to address this bug.What gives? Has anyone else experienced this? Worked around it? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MSTS, only finding that this is a very tedious, time-consuming process that did nothing to resolve this issue.

"RE: Route Geometry Extractor" DriverPhil --I found this page and site I thought you may find helpful:http://www.railpage.org.au/steam4me/trainsim/tutorials/ig_route.htmlFollowing its direction, I was able to resolve the same problem you experienced. Apparently, there's an unwritten step involved, and one can read the Help files until steam again becomes the power of choice and they won't be of help in this issue.
