Hello fellow no limiters.
I have about 60 blue prints that I did back in high school drafting class and now I want to transfer them to NL. What Scan tag is used by NL and what folder do I put it in?

Thanks Mark

I think if that was to work it would be a Pro version atleast, but if you do find a way I would be interested to know how you managed it.

Got it in the editor but the size is to small it has 20 items on the a backgound. What size do I use for it?

has it translated as a 3 dimensional track or just a 3d object?

If it has gone in as a track then just purg it back to scale if it is an object run it through a 3d package to rescale it.

It's just an overhead view of track only. Math computation of ride wrote down. JPG. file put in Terra folder but to small.

I see what you're trying to do. If I'm not mistaken you have to blueprint of a ride in top view, and to recreate it, you want to use that picture as an ground texture so you can build on that.

But I have no idea what the pixel/meter ratio is when using textures.

for the size I would use 512x512 pixels...thats the size of the normal teratextures which came with NL....but I thing you can use equivalent sizes like: 1024x1024 or 256x256

cool5 I've tried uploading an image of the blue prints but it won't let me. I did get it to work.

Save Image as a Jpg and place in the Terra folder then open editor. press the default button and then browse for the image and use it. Once thats done. Place the track as needed, then adjust the heights as needed.
