NAM tutorials

[ShadowVFX 0]

I tried to do a search for NAM Tutorials, but no matter what, I kept getting this error message:

"Your search contained ignored words, ignored words are words like a,and,to,between.Please re-construct your search without these ignored words."

I had NAM about 2 years ago when I was playing around with SC4RH, but it's been awhile and I've forgotten nearly everything now. I have a fresh install of SC4 on my machine now, and have just installed the newest NAM. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble using the GLR in my city. Do I have to use the "puzzle pieces" for everything? It's extremely time consuming and frustrating having to demolish my entire Avenue in my large city just to place GLR down the median one at a time. Same goes for the stations. Do I have to demo the area before placing it, or am I doing it wrong?

If someone has any up-to-date guides on youtube for how to use the NAM tools, that would be helpful. The only GLR guide I found on Youtube wasn't exactly recent and said I needed to use elevated rail to make GLR work. I'm very confused at the moment...can anyone point me in the right direction so I can learn how to make this stuff work?

How about these

You have to demo you existing structures to place the nam pieces. Some are click and drag (stand alone GLR's) but other you have to place one at a time. I suggest checking out the read-me's included with the name a lot of the info your looking for is included. If you don't to place individual GLR in avenue might I suggest placing a stand alone GLR with one way roads on either side.

Many NAM pieces can be placed on top of existing stretches of network. The GLR-in-AVE pieces can be placed (for the most part) on existing avenue.

There exists a semi-draggable GLR in road method, where you draw 1,2,or 3 tile stretches of elerail over existing road. Its a little tricky though.

Draggable GLR (plain) exists, where you place the starter piece and draw GLR out from the stub tile using the elerail tool.

NAM Version 29 adds quite a few new things, including some new pieces, improvements to traffic simulation and support for the latest RealHighway and Network Widening Mod versions, in addition to fixing an issue that was causing instant crash-to-desktop upon placement of Car Ferry Terminals.  Additionally, you can't download the old version, anyways--we always clear out outdated files to prevent users from mistakenly installing them and then having technical issues as a result.

I don't think GLR stations are included, try searching the STEX for GLR.
