Sorry to be such a problem but another error. Rebooted system and all.

New Error.jpg

Just a little while ago I was able now all of a sudden this one crops up on pressing export.

Any ideas

[Trainguy76]

Is "pipelineloft1" containing a space in the Geometry ID, it shouldn't if it does. Underscores are fine, make sure it reflects this in the Source files.

[sleepyto]

No spaces, The geometry ID was copied and pasted.

[Trainguy76]

Not sure what to do there, but try this. (Backup the Temp folder first I guess.)

Hey Mike,

Open this folder in RailWorks: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\Temp

Delete all the files in there. Then start RailWorks and load it into the route selection menu. Then you can quit out and launch the Blueprint Editor.

This is a basic flush of the files the BPE needs to load.

Regards

[sleepyto]

Will do.

Looks like we live pretty close to each other.

I visit the Up yards every now and the and a week or so ago I was up on Cajon watching some of the equip struggle up the hill.

I am about ten miles south of the 91 on I15.

[sleepyto]

No luck there either. There were only about 4 or 5 files there.
Think I will go back and check the files with steam, nothing to lose.

[sleepyto]

Validated files with steam, no luck with that either.
I have RW on another drive, tried the file there and it seemed to export okay.
I am really stumped.
Any help out there will be greatly apprecisted.

Hi Gang:

Well I finally got the lofted pipe loaded into RW.

Now I have another issue.

Here is what I exported

Pipe.jpg

And this is what it looked like in RW

Now what

[Trainguy76]

John, Z should be the length for loft objects.

Z+ would be the front of a loco, Z- would be the back of one.

[qrfan3]

Actually, if you look at the pipe object axis it appears the Z is pointing down and the Y along the pipe.
Doesn't the Z axis normally run along the pipe direction, as shown down in the bottom left?

[sleepyto]

Hi again, I sure do hate to show this but something I thought was going to be easy sure turned into a bear. I hate to ask all these questions, but I really need some small pipe lofts for my route.

Heres the 3DC shot

Heres the export shot

Heres the RW result Nothing

Alex I know you said all must be 0 along the Z axis and as far as I can tell its that way. But I am having trouble getting this to render and then show up properly.

Thanks in advance
John

The objects "manipulation" center must be at one end. So if the object is 4m long, and It's manipulation center is at the real center of the object, you need to use the shift operation and shift it exactly half forward. So shift the object 2m forward.

[sleepyto]

I think I have the center at the end or at least it was placed on the end face with the "shift center on selection" option.
Are you referring to something else, or should it be at the other end.

[sleepyto]

Finally success

I finally got it after deleting the end faces. Thanks to Hack for that idea.

Thanks to Alex for all his patience and help, without either I would have never figured that out.

Now on to more detailed lofts.

Thanks again for all the input.

John
