Having a very difficult time understanding RW decal. Very confused on how to use it. I've been looking at the tutorials, but my head is still spinning. Anybody do it often? Any tips? How exatctly do you capture a decal?

Did you notice these forums have different names? Please post in the appropriate forum.

How do I make my decal and my terrain data match up?

How do I move the thread Bob?

There's this and other tutorials on Youtube.

I used them to get mine up and running. Just take it step by step and persevere until it all comes together.

I already moved it for you and several others in the last few days. I left a SHADOW marker so you could find it again and not think it got deleted. Just slow down and plan your posts a little, we have forums for most important topics and then the General forum for things that don't have a topic forum. Just trying to keep things organized and easier to search for.

Nate, RWDecal has his own YouTube Channel. Here is one of RWDecal's video's that explains a lot of things you need to know to use RWDecal

Once you get the hang of it, you'll find RWDecal a very easy to use. The decals will always be placed under Misc Assets on the middle left flyout, plus you'll need to make sure the Route Markers radio button is selected on the bottom left flyout in order to place the decals correctly.

How do I determine the proper altitude to use when getting a decal?

I think I may have found the tutorial I need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Qy28oi8_s

When using the "create path" method of grabbing decals, was I supposed to start the path EXACTLY in the lat/long that I set the route up to start at? Also, is it advisable, to decal, lay track and roads, and add buildings and scenery to a route in sections?
