Saved elements become flat

Pleas help I am at a loss what to do.

Every time I mark off sections of track and save them as an element, then insert that element as a new track, it's always flattened out, all the hills and turns have gone.

Because of this I can't use the AHG.

How can I get the element into the original shape again so I can use the AHG?

When you insert that element, it becomes flat? Is the track running into the ground?

Why don't you try raising the starting vertex (the one with the purple cone) up some?

Got it now, I didn't realise you had to raise the start vertex to begin with. Thanks.
