Hi Ken, Select the sheet, then click on the Elevations and Grade button on the upper tool bar, it looks like a red % sign on a slope. Could also go to ...
I have what I am sure is a stupid question but... How do you prevent the terrain from overflowing onto the track? Example 1: Draw 3 concentric circles of track...
Note that changing the Mesh spacing will only apply to new meshes, so you would have to redraw the mesh at the new spacing and conform again before you would...
... It would be nice to be able to draw a guideline over a Mesh that says "Make the triangles touching this line 1/2 their present size". I'd like to be able...
... so you would have to redraw the mesh at the new spacing and conform again before you would see the effect. Great. That worked. See I told you it was a...
Ver PlanIt Beta 7.08.026. I cannot find the layout in 3D. All OK in 2D. Tried everything but no joy. Using F7 seems to cause it. Any ideas? Right edge of drop...
... F7 is supposed to point you AT the layout - using the recent Beta version. It's a "recover me and let me see things" button. If it doesn't work properly...
... meshes, ... No, it wasn't a stupid question. In fact, it reminded me of one of the things I stumbled over a LOT when I was learning to use 3PI. I've...

When you add trees to a drawing, they may be placed at elevation zero, then when you go into 3d view you may be looking over/under them and thus don't see...
... Oh, good thought! I hadn't a clue on this one. BTW, the way to plant trees on a mesh is by holding the Alt key down when you click the Left Mouse Button to...
