How can you build rails?

[Team Triss]

Like the topic title says. I'm gettin really frustrated that I can't figure out how to build rails. It seems like it would be so simple, but I can't nicely close another ship around the rail to move along it.

How does he do that? I can get one set of tires touching, but the rest either have large gaps between them and that center rail, or it's crooked and I can't complete it because blocks are clipping.

What am I missing? I looked up several tutorials and they're all like "yeah just build a center rail then build another ship around it".

Edit: Here's an example of what I'm having problems with: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260541269

You can see there's a gap between the "car" and the rail (upper right of the screenshot) and therefore the blocks overlap when trying to fit them tightly. I can't close that gap any more than it already is, and it's driving me up the wall.

I`m not sure if this is helps, but when i tried to build an elevator my wheels were damaging the rails when i tried to guid it trough the wheels. It turned out i had to switch off the rotors and disable the break on all of the wheels.

I can't even do that. I literally cannot build a complete square that fits decently around the center rail.

You need to build the cart and the rail as one single ship, and then delete whatever holds them together after you have built the guide wheels.

i think he built the cart seperate then using a tug, piloted over the rail and lowered on it, I use this method alot and find it alot easier..

if you wait for a bit they will be releasing rails

Tried this, it wouldn't fit still.

Just did this, and here's the end result: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=260600937
I built it as a solid piece off of the center rail, then put 3/4 wheels in, and when I snipped the last block to puth the 4th wheel in, it spaz'd and exploded.

Somehow it's like the hole is smaller than it should be
