Gradient Adjusting

[krellnut]

When adjusting gradients with tracks side by side, is there a way to select both tracks so the adjustment can be done to both at the same time?

Using the gradient tool, hold down Ctrl while selecting the yellow gradient markers. If there are not markers on the tracks side-by-side you can add them first. Sometimes when selecting multiple markers, the additional ones will turn red for a second when you click on them then flip back to yellow, but as long as you are sure you saw them go red then they are still selected and you're good to go on your adjustment. Tip: if you want to make v-e-r-y fine adjustments, move in r-e-a-l-l-y close to the marker you're "holding".

I'm sorry, I guess I should have explained the correct gradient tool. I meant the one where you use the select tool, then click the gradient icon to fix the track.

That, I don't think you can do both together. You can use the select tool and try to match the distance for each track to be equal. Follow me? I'll break/cut the track at the same spot for each track to use as a guide. You know, create a red diamond mark. Then weld back together when done.
To add what was said above. To make fine adjustments with the gradient markers or fine adjustments with anything that you can move for that matter, hold down the SHIFT key.

I figured as much. But that is the problem; if you have tracks side by side and you gradient them separately, most times the tracks don't adjust to the same height which makes the terrain all messed up. Thanks for your help.

Learn something new every day... I never tried the Shift key on the gradient markers. I seldom use the mouse to move objects a small amount, using keys most of the time. Yea, I know... I'm old-school, lol.

Very curious how do you move things with the keys?
I would like to know how it's done.

Thanks,

Here's a few:

Key Movement
V and B Moves the object up and down.
G and F Rotates the selected object clockwise and anticlockwise.
N and C Moves the object along the terrain towards and away from the
camera.
J Snaps the object from its original height to the terrain height.

To select multiple objects with more precision, hold the <CTRL> key and left
click on the individual objects.
