Please excuse the post to multiple groups here. Within the past month, there was a brief discussion on small to medium yard design. In order to answer the...

Hi Jack, The file needs to exist as a 3pi file but not be open in 3pi as an active drawing file. If that's where you are, let's look deeper. August ... a...
Here's a technique that might get you the information you want. Because you can drop one piece of wood onto the top of another, if you create a zero-heigt...
... Yes, you "should" be able to. I believe there is a limitation of what DXF version/format you need to export to. I'm not an ACAD expert, but IIRC you need...
... You can also use Google SketchUp to mock up your building, export that to Google Earth 4 format, change the filename to a ZIP file, unpack the ZIP, find...

Hi Jack, ... What you are doing is completely straightforward and is what I usually do. I prefer to have manual control over where the pasted-in object sits...
I have been busy creating 3D models of two Atlas O bridges. I am wondering if there is a straight-forward way to use these as track segments. IOW, I'd like...

Hi Clark, Be careful that the "piece of track" that Randy refers to is simply a line of track, not a piece of sectional track. I'm not sure, and can't test...
Just a heads up for those who might plan on using the Bachmann EZ track library. (For the steel track at least) The turnouts and 30 degree crossing are wrong. ...
Well, that didn't work :{ I added a straight line defined as "track" to my bridge, then grouped the bridge and the track segment. Then I copied the whole...
... If I recall correctly, and it's been decades since I did any track planning with them, Atlas Snap Switches have that same 1-1/2" bit of straight before the...
I did. At least I checked a box that said as much. Somehow it seems to me that what I am trying to do is problematic. I suspect #D models are inherently...
You might need the track piece to extend over the edge of the bridge by maybe 1/16". Then you know you are grabbing the track to align with your other objects....
OK, extending the track segment works. Sort of. My bridge model now snaps to existing track, can be "connected" to using the regular 3PI track construction...
