Still no dice on the markers. This is what I have in my Source and Asset folders respectively.

Gee Sean..your not getting a good run are you.
The above screenies appear to be okay from what I can see.... !!*ok*!! You can delete the tgt files, they are only a data record of your file creation.
Okay, for the series markers....your start long / lat should be the same in your Route Properties .xml file as the one you set in ReDem ( Step 1 )
These same start long / lat co-ordinates should have also been in your .csv file before you converted it to .dscv. Also the long values should be in the left column of your .csv file.
Some folks say to re-start RailWorks after making the marker files......after doing so, go into the WE ( World Editor ) and select the radio button for Route Markers on the bottom left flyout..( see post #2 of this thread ). Also, don't forget to select your own Asset name in the right flyout by clicking on the little blue cube with the orange arrow in the middle left flyout. Hopefully your series marker line should appear.
If you still have issues, then maybe the conversion from the .csv or the .csv itself has a problem.

Well I think either the conversion from the .csv or the .csv itself is the problem. I would trace the route on Google Earth or on the map thing that was pointed out in RW_Tools, however I don't know the route well enough to do that. This is a tough cookie to crack.

Sean
PM me and attach your .csv file. Also give me your start long & lat co-ordinates....I will have a gander and see what gives if you want.

Well thanks to qrfan3, I was able to get my series and named markers working. What happened was that 1. Route Properties was directing to a folder that wasn't there anymore, a folder that's from a route that I've discarded a long time ago. So I changed that, and I redid the Route Template as well as the blueprints for the markers, and I was able to get it working! :D

I will be working on Google Earth Decal this weekend and making sure all of my ground work is set before I start laying down tracks and scenery. I hope y'all dig this route. :)
