I could have a go if you provide the relevant dimensions.

 

[ed_jza80]

dimensions?

<--------about this big--------->

haha, seriously dont know. best i could scale it would be two tracks, total width of a regular two lane road, and overhead lines/stanchions prob around the height of a regular street lamp? distance between stanchions say 50m?

I've put the XPack on the downloads page:

If you want to have a go at editing, the source files are here:

cool
looks perfect mate, thanks.
i was going to say though, small prob, when laid as a SObject, the tack comes out at 90deg to the direction of the object. ie heads of sections o track all lined up against eachother, along the length of the drwan path.

ill get a screen grab if you dont geet my meaning. possible to fix that?

cheers

[ed_jza80]

screen grab

I had that problem too. I fixed it via the XPack but forgot to do it again after re-adding the object. I don't know if the upload thing allows files to be updated, but I'll see...

edit: I think it worked - try downloading again.
