Greetings,

I am new at this, so please forgive me.

I am going to try and start create some transit enabled lots in sketch up. I know I will have to import into GMAX. What I need to know is the following,

What are the specifications in terms of length, width and height I need to follow to make a station that can work with both El-Rail and the NAM raised rail set. I know it will be two different buildings in the sim, but I want to try the same model.

Also, how do I path it to make is compatible with UDI?

Where do I find the track and EL-rail textures that are used in the sim?

and, finally, how to I import it into the sim, with the textures applied in sketchup, through Gmax?

I know you people have been a lot of help to modders before me, and I thank you for your help then, and your help now.

    I just recently BATed a ELR station, and here's the approximate specs:

    Length: Any length, just keep realism in mind.

    Width: 16 meters, platforms about 3 meters or so.

    Height: I believe about 15 meters.

    As for transit enabling for ELR there's the ever friendly SC4 Tool found on Simszone.de. You may have to ask someone from the NAM team about the elevated "heavy" railway, as I have no idea about that. I don't know about track textures but I remember getting a prop pack with ELR pieces as props. You may want to post in the BAT open discussion thread about getting whatever you need into gmax. Sorry, that's the best I could do, but I hope it helps you somewhat!
