Oh and in case you were wondering, this is how the track fits through the structure, almost dodging the supports, making this part of the ride even more eventful..

Unfortunately I don't think that there is a way to just churn out Invert supports. Especially if your supporting a segment of track that doesn't have a direct side view in the editor. I had to go through the same thing with my ride Saphira, it took a couple of days to complete the layout and a couple of months to grind through the supports. Sucks I know.

Nom nom. This is simply too sexy.
On a side not I don't have any tips for speeding up the supporting process.

Yeah, supporting inverts with track connectors, flanges, and such is a pain. It took me several weeks to get the motivation to pound through all of them on my invert Carcajou. Really the only advice I have is to just not give up.

This competes with daboia in my book of inverts!

I find the best thing to do when making track connectors is to make a lot of standard ones, eg. pitched at 10*, 20*, 30*, etc with various bankings, then you can just try out a few of those and see which fits best and make slight tweaks to that one.

Don't forget the little mini braces that go in the middle of the loop:

And also your standard over-the-top supports are too wide on the top. The vertical tube and the diagonal tube can meet side-by-side at the top:

It will just help to keep this looking professional, and don't forget to rotate your footers ;)

^I believe Kyle modeled his loop supports after Raptor, which lacks the braces in the middle of the loop...and he nailed it. I prefer this style, more aesthetically pleasing.

B&M supports pitch at 0* and 90*

Looks great except for the one support in the middle bottom of the first picture which has a little strangeness with the connector but that aside it looks brilliant.

Status report? I saw that you started a hyper project but it'd be a crime not to upload this.
