Elementry Question

How would i make some turns change in radius, because i dont want my track to be the same radius all the time.

Also, how make a turn which does not pump, because if you use a leedin/out, and join two turn pieces its pumps.

Make sure you are using the Swiss Army Helix formula and you can make your radius whatever you want it to be. To avoid pumps, remember the angle you came out as from the previous element has to be the same angle you begin with to avoid a pump.

Oh, i thought you didnt use tools Matt

Lol, i do now! I realised the potential and im not going to be fussy about how 'pure' it is.

Thanks for the tips Tconwell!

Anytime man -- hey, I'm learning too!

I am slowly becoming the only serious designer here that isn't using Elementary... of course, I am using good old fashioned math so it's the same idea.

If you don't want a turn that pumps, and you use more than one element, keep the radius the same and make sure the end of the first element has no lead out, and the start of the second element has no lead in.

Thanks for the comments! Although, my coaster really suck when using the program .

If you want my advice (not sure if you are asking but here it is anyway) -- I would design three or four coasters on your own and not post them. This is what I did when I first started using Elementary, and actually that idea came from Tyler. Just design for you man -- then once you start to really perfect things, then post a ride and see how it fairs. Posting the first ride you create with Tools is probably not going to get you instant rewards.
