Building a tram rail

[creigpierre 1]

Hi, believe it or not, I have just discovered modds, and i am going nuts. So i have simcity delux and i have installed

A couple modds. The TTC bus, the Police cars 3g, a new hospital, new trains, amongst other things that i also planned to download.

Now I have come to download THE INFAMOUS Nam that people are talking about.

my problem is, that when i am laying down the tram rails, it doesn't turn corners, it only goes straight, it doesnt connect to other street car lines, neither does it intercept them. The rails don't go over street or roads/avenues, neither do streets or roads and avenues go over them. I know however that it is possible  because by mistake, a street car rail went over a road, a rail, and and avenue, and also made a short turn, while i was building. where i built this rail, a elevated rail line use to be there.

My nam is not the draggable one, it the ploppable one i believe. I have tried putting the rails down in the mids of my farm lands and trying to hook them up with the elevated rail hoping for them to turn into street car rails, I got nothing.

So my confusion is, how do i 1. get these rails to turn left and or right, and go over roads?

Thanks

to place the GLR over roads rails and such you need to click on the ploppable piece and press Tab to cycle through the pieces, and press home to rotate the pieces, hope this solves your problem good luck

also, you can press tab with all the other new ploppable pieces the NAM gives you

In the NAM the GLR is draggable but it is not like a normal network. If you read the manual you will see how to use it, or search for a draggable GLR tutorial on YouTube. Basically you must place a special starter piece, it is 1 tile wide and 2 tiles long and he preview of it has on tilLe with two arrows on it. When you place it you won't see the arrows but remember which tile they were on and in the menu select the El rail tool, this did not come part of the NAM but came with SC4 then drag the elrail from the tile which had the arrows and you will be dragging GLR not el rail. You can then drag this over roads etc.some sections will still require the non draggable (called puzzle pieces) to get different pieces press the tab key.
