That's what your dad said

anybody, some advise?

I don't know other than using Sketchup Pro. Thats all I know how to use. If you have made a catwalk and want it at the angle of the lift, you need to click on the object, and click the yellow button and move it to the angle of the lift.

I hope that helps.

Ya it is.

@skylindar: thanks i gone try it.
@all the other: please, do not spam in this topic. thanks.

I think i finally got a design for the sidewalks-side stairs.
these pics are from the mcbb(I've not don the lift-hill yet because i need to know what you think):




Does it look good?
Or do i need another design?

IMO it looks cool!

I gone connect them to the track with the "in editor" I beams.
@Vid_w: thanks
I need more opinions to know if i gone use them.

They look very realistic and suitable. I strongly agree that you should use them!

Cat Walks. Not sidewalks.

OK, tomorrow, after school i gone work on the lift hill.

So, I gotta ask. I've tried multiple times to put alpha textures into sketchup, but they never worked. How are you doing that catwalk?
On a separate topic, the coaster is looking really sexy...except for the fact that it looks VASTLY oversupported.

Alpha textures? What are that?
If you mean to get textures on your model so you can see them in nolimits and then you see in nolimits and WTH: its a invisble wall, i can see through it: just see you don't get any purple faces if you are building.

If you mean how to import your own textures to sketchup:

And for the supports:
i think it needs those for the g-forces, otherwise the track will bend in real life.

edit.: NEARLY 1000 READS YAY!

edit2.: Can someone help me how to make the catwalks on the lift because sketchup don't allows me to make a face, i only got lines that are perfectly connected but, sketchup didn't wanted to set a face between them, and that means: IM STUCK!

Alpha textures are textures that have some transparent areas and some opaque areas, like your catwalk mesh. Although, after thinking about it, maybe I just never had any alpha textures that I could import... [:P]

And what part of the catwalk is sketchup not letting you do? Sometimes sketchup requires you to do some really roundabout processes before you get what you want.

when i want to go 30?????????05'50" up to the lift.
i gone try to use noting else then triangles, hope that works.
and... the blue "alpha" textures==> i got them from sketchup.

edit.: problem solved, thanks to boneplaya.
i just need to ad a little, diagonal line.

some of those hills look weirdly shaped. not B&M like. i would mark off for that.

My thoughts exactly.

Well, I'm not entirely sure what I did, but you're welcome [^]
Anyway, I'm just dying to see pics of the finished lift with catwalk. Hint, hint.

@ boneplaya:i'm working on it.
but my trail-period from sketchup is over so... i need someone to export: i can create things and safe them as a sketchup file but i cannot export them as .3Ds file[:(]
@Brtnboarder495: it my first b&m coaster with newton so and for me it is difficult to create perfectly "B&M Hill's". so sorry.

edit.: special for boneplaya[;)]:
PICTURES: [:p]

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
Lifthill catwalk COMPLETED!!
I only need somebody to export my sketchupfiles to 3Ds files. because i have the free version of sketchup.[:(]
Anyway...pictures:

I think, tbh, that you should add more poly to the crest. Also if possible, make steps if the lift is probably too steep (which is what I'm guessing).

hey i can export for you I pm you my e-mail

@A113: i think it was 32????????? of steepness. so i don't think i need steps. but i gone remake the lifthill-catwalks next week, when i can go on my good computer.[;)]

@IbanezCoaster: i gone remake it so: it is gone take some time, and thanks you wanne do it. [;)]

^no problem
