Ground zero with CAN-AM

[Dinocrates 3]

 I'm a semi-newbie.  I've installed the newest NAM, and I'm using many of the features. However, I'm confounded

by the Canal Add-on Module.  I selected SimGoober's canals in the NAM install, and I've included SimGoober's

canal pack, and the dependencies he mentioned, in my plug-ins.  However, when I attempt to use the

CAN-AM puzzle pieces, all I get are grey squares. I searched Simtropolis and the web for a tutorial, but in vain. 

Maybe I'm just being thick, but can anyone point to a step-by-step explanation of how to use the CAN-AM?  It looks

very cool....

Do those 'grey squares' look like the water texture for SimGoober's canals? That is the normal appearance for the CAN-AM pieces as they are only the pieces for the network path. 

Make a row using the CAN-AM pieces (included in NAM).



After plopping them , you'll need to plop SimGoober's canal pieces (separate download) to fill in the sides of the canals.



The inner row is made with the CAN-AM pieces. The outer two rows on each side is made with the regular canal pieces. Then, once you get some stations (need to register if not), you can do this...





If this is not the issue you are having, you might want to post an image of what you see to get more assistance. Just a thought...

CaptCity, thank you ...  that was very helpful ... it got me over the hump.  Also, helpful is the read-me in the BSC LEX canal lot download that you linked to in your post ... I think it was the only SimGoober canal-related download I didn't have .  If there any other folks who are having trouble with the CAN-AM, I would definitely suggest following the link and checking out that read-me. Thanks again....
