I was just wonderin, who makes their own elements and who just inserts them? I myself, make em, thats why my coasters are normally bumpy on inversions.
I try to make my own, but a lot of the time they don't really turn out the way I want them to. pre-fabs aren't really a bad thing, it's just what you put into it. I myself am pretty new to NL and don't have a lot of time to work with it as much as I want to. I have been getting used to all of the detail oriented parts of the game. I think it just takes some people longer than others to adjust to the editor.

Yea, i just make my own, but i suck with corkscrews so i mite just insert them or just insert on a test and then try to make a duplicate from the insertion.
I will attempt to make my own elements, such as boomer's, dive loops, and inline twists. I cant make vertical loops tho cuz they come out lopsided and painful. If an element took too long to make and I got it right, I'll save that element for further use
I do both, if there's an element I can improve on, I'll do that, but if it's a good element, I'll keep it.
Someone once said if it's not broken, why fix it???
Well...I always use pre-fabbed loops/barrel rolls and corckscrews. But I'll always tweak them to make them less rough or to make them fit in well. I can't make a barrel roll worth a damn so why pain myself when I can just slap one on that I like anyway? Sometimes I'll make my own corkscrews though because the pre-fabbed corkscrews are kinda crappy.
