Build Mode: Can't Delete Pre-Built Stations

[Microsoft Word]

Does Anyone know how to delete pre-built stations from DTG I can't seem to find the hitbox on where to delete, Also anyone know a easy way to lay track to the platforms?

If it would help any I am trying to delete the 'Augsburg Hbf' Station from the Munich-Augsburg route by DTG.

You should be able to select the station from the editor. Once its highlighted just press delete on your keyboard.
In regards to laying track for platforms I find the best way is to lay your track first then use the offset tool to place the platform next to the track. Manually laying the platform is a headache and wont look as neat as using the offset tool.

I will try the station help. I tried to delete the station, but it's not like the oters, it's in the station tab and I can't select it.

Which route are you trying to delete stations from? I will try also.

Or did you mean deleting them from the asset list? If thats the case im not sure how you would except deleting the assets from the contents folder which may mess up other routes that rely on the assets.

Unfortunatly some stations and assets can only be picked once,so when its picked and placed you cant repick it. So when you pick and place the asset you then have to hit the undo button then hit the redo button and asset will reappear highlighted,you then can use the legacy gizmo to turn and adjust asset into place,a bit painfull but it works. Not sure how to delete asset,maybe go into bin files you may have success there.

I have had this issue with some bridges. Once placed they cant be deleted. Painful as you said :P

I have had a similar problem in my build project with a couple of trees. I cannot select them, move, or delete them from the scenery.

I have a feeling that this problem is due to a thing called the 'Bounding Sphere', which is saved as a part of the models GeoPcDx file (but I could be wrong of course). The sphere has a radius radiating out from the middle of the object. It describes the distances from which it can be seen and / or selected. Sometimes this radius does not save as one would expect, being either too small or too big (it is supposed to just about encompass the whole object, nothing more & nothing less). If the radius is very small, then you must get the mouse pointer right over it before it can be selected, and the smaller it is the harder that will be. If the radius is too big, maybe very big, it is possible that you (the viewer / builder) is actually inside of the sphere, again making it impossible to select - you have to be outside of it to 'see' it.

I have never personally found an object that can't be selected due to this reason (but I have had quite a few that disappear when viewed from close up or at oblique angles etc). This Radius is actually quite easy to correct, if you know the exact name & location of the objects GeoPcDx file, and if you are happy to edit such files - which really is not as bad as it seems!

Later this evening, I may create a few simple models and play around with the radius numbers and see what, if anything, I can find out.

Thanks for explaning that Glenn. Its anoying because all the other trees next to these two edit no problem. All I want to do is reduce the height as they look a bit out of place. Cant remember now which ones they were in the list.

some assets are locked out from moving once placed, you can use RWtools to make them movable though, you would need to need to change a line in the .bin file for the asset from <Pickable d:type="cDeltaString">eFalse</Pickable> to
<Pickable d:type="cDeltaString">eTrue</Pickable>

In the case of your trees, Mike, I suspect that you are simply having difficulty selecting them because of close proximity to the other trees (or other objects). I have had this problem many times - especially with things like the 3rd rail or other small objects. What I do then is select one of the close objects, then hold down the Ctrl key while making multiple selections. Then I will press and hold either the V (up) or B (down) key until they are well out of the way, then try again to select the awkward one. It usualy works for me anyway. Once you have done what you wish with it, it is easy to re-select all the other ones again and then just press the opposite to what you pressed to get them out of the way.

Thanks Glenn. I have tried as you have suggested unfortunatly still no luck, thats moving everything out of the way and digging a huge hole leaving the two trees in space they will not select or budge. I have had similar situations particularly with 3d walls moving items out of the way and digging down to the base of the wall until yellow rectangle appears then able to edit or delete. I have RW Tools as suggested in a previous post but well its a bit over my head. Looks like the trees will have to stay.

I have a pine tree, some foliage, and a bowstring bridge I am unable to select in the editor, but I reckon they could be deleted using RW Tools.
