Looking for suggestions / tips for getting a true 90 degree track crossing. The method I've been using is to lay down a small section of track, and then rotate it so it looks like a 90 degree angle using a straight edge of some kind like another piece of track or a road segment. I can get fairly close, but a half degree or full degree off can place the track fairly off course when there is a long straight run. Just curious and thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can hold the Ctrl key when rotating assets in the route editor. That'll enable angle snapping and will allow you to put things (not just tracks) at precise 90° angles to each other.

Alternatively, there's also the "Snap Rotation" tool in which you can define the precise rotation angle -- tick the radio button next to the "30° angle" icon on the tools panel at the bottom of your screen, then enter the desired rotation angle in the box right to it The number entered here also affects the snapping when using the Ctrl+gizmo method.

Cheers,
Michael

Thank you Michael. That worked great!!
