Flick - I fixed the clearance to the one you see in the second screenshot.
JR- I hope so too! And sorry to burst your bubble but I found a better opportunity of a cartexture XD
Ian- I'm currently using the meters template, and when you import the track make sure you export it in meters. Image below:
Actually I was super lucky because I modeled the prelift without the spine, and proceeded doing the catwalk, which is an uber fail on my part, so I had to import a spine file and had to place it correctly. Luckily for me on my first attempt on placing it, it was dead on the track in the editor in respect to the x and z axis (had to move it a tad down for the y), but if you are going to place the spine then model, then do the model import as mentioned above.
Also, Ian is it possible if you can be my sketchup exporter? I downloaded anim8tor to get rid of the black walls, it wouldn't even start up. I got 3Ds max, and have no idea to do it. But if you can I would super appreciate it.
And lastly, what do you think of the theming overall for only having 3 days experience with sketchup? [dorkhat]
