NAM Help - on-slope overpass

Hey all - I decided to give SC4 + NAM another go after a break, and am now trying to make my road grid cross over a sunken RHW4. I got the right puzzle piece for the tiles directly over the RHW, but can't seem to find what to connect it with on-slope. Can anyone point me to the right menu / way of approaching this? X marks the missing tile piece:

Added bonus: on installing NAM I thought I'd be cool and do European highways, but am now wishing I just had the American ones to simplify NAM learning. Any way to do that without lots of uninstalls and reinstalls? Thanks!

Hiya, @adventurerneil.

While I don't know the answers to your questions, I do know this should prolly go in the NAM forum so I'll move it over there for you. *;)

The pieces you've used are legacy ones, the upto date versions are all draggable. But you want to find the puzzle-based 15m Road Viaducts item in the road mean, on slopes can be found at the end of the tab-ring, so using Shift and Tab a few times will find them quickest.

If you are interested in the new draggable functionality, I've some videos showing how to make basic interchanges:

 

As for switching from EU to US textures, you really should re-run the NAM installer once more. You can remove the EU textures, which should revert everything, but if you decide to go that way, you are on your own from a support perspective. Frankly everything works identically, just that the inside lines are white instead of yellow. As you can see in my videos, the brighter white shoulder is often reasonably easy to spot.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

Thank you! Sorry for any inconvenience. 

You're quite welcome, and it's really easy to move topics around so no inconvenience. And don't worry about it. Where you posted in General Discussion does seem a logical place for a general question. *;)

    Thank you, rsc, that worked! Whew, so much puzzling. I really need to go full-bore and just get a pc for my SC4 playing (currently playing on a macbook air). The draggable looks really good. :-)  And yeah, on second thought, I forgot how much I dislike the yellow lines, so I think I'll stick it out with the Euro setup for now.
