Hi James,
I've tested your new release of the .s file and it's all OK. The shape looks very good now with the rails!
Re the tcb_rot parameters, they don't do any harm, but they aren't useful, so I removed them. There is no rotation involved, as can also be seen, because all tcb_rot animation lines have the same parameters.

That's great! Though, I suppose I need one more shape edit, to correct a thing or two.

One more item about this. This entire shape is 30m long. However, the bridge itself is only 28m. There are 1m segments on each end of the bridge. How does this need to look in the Tsection file? Can I duplicate the A9t30m entry, as it is what I based the shape on, or do I need an entry for 1+28+1, if that makes sense?

Thank you,

James

I think the simplest thing to do is to change the Length() parameter within turntables.dat from 30.0 to 28.0. That should be enough.

Hello All,

Here is the third update to the Transfer Table shape. I added the guard rails to the transfer bridge.

Looks good, however now I get the external faces of the transfertable cabin in uniform grey.

I'm sorry. I have too many things to edit in there, after exporting from gmax. It was an image name that I had been altering each time.

It should work now.

Attached is only the shape file.

I just wanted to ask a simple question.

Should the TrackShape block that is used to declare a turntable or transfertable in the include file Tsection.dat be free in the file Tsection.dat in the route end user GLOBAL folder?

Yes, it's better if it is free. Else, if that original block were used in the route, you'd get undesired effects.
