Hey ja/att, I had the same problem of a prop not turning up in lot editor. Problem was that if the prop/building was bigger than the lot it would not show. A model must be <= the lot width and depth (dont think you need to worry for height) for it to show. Try opening a bigger lot in LE and the look to see if your model is available. You can then make the lot smaller once it is imported. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies Sam and Stranger. Sam, you are is right. I tried loading a 3x3 plaza instead of the 1x1 one and hey presto it was in the list. Prop must be <= width and depth of the lot for the prop to show in the list. (height shouldn't matter?) My sizes were correct but I wanted the prop to "overhang" the side of the lot. Soloution (for anyone having same trouble) 1 Load 2x2 plaza 2 Change building for 1x1 plaza building 3 Import prop 4 Make the lot 1x1 I now have a basic plaza that goes under elrail Ok now to sort out a texture, add some props etc. Thanks again. Jim

Thanks for the reply Andreas! You got it, I went to the LEX and they had a newer version there, as well as loads of other cool stuff to distract me. Problem solved.

Apologies, I did not mean to "hijack" anyones forum. I am new to this forum thing and therefore was unaware of the etiquette. I just figured seeing as oikruxchaos727 had asked for help from anyone with the time I would ask a question for the same people. Thanks for the reply anyway. I guess I may have a tinker with the reader and see if I can change them myself. Edit: No need, the Eurotextures Mod at the PLEX is newer than the one on the STEX and resolves the issure (and improves the mod). Just to get back on topic. (sorry for the intrusion oikruxchaos) I would agree with El Burro and Unassigned that the NAM is a must. That alone should keep you busy for a testing out all the new transport options. One thing I would also recommend highly is the SC4Tool or Reader. With these, (among many other things) you can examine any of the plugins that you download and check that the properties are as you like them. Believe me, that nice looking new station in your city is all very well until you realize it has 10000 jobs and polutes 4 city blocks. I found that when I first started downloading custom content it became a kind of frenzy ,with each new discovery leading to another download. Before long your plugins folder can become very large and your menus unwieldly. I suggest downloading one thing at a time and making sure you really want it before adding anything else. Hope this is helpful, happy building.

Hi, I'm looking for help with the eurotextures mod by SFBT Ever since I installed the April2008 NAM the roads under the ElRail are showing origonal maxis textures. I cant seem to find any update or even reference to this problem. Please help as I dont want to have to use the old NAM to keep my eurotextures. Alternativly if anyone can tell me how to change them myself (I have the reader SC4Tool etc.) I'll give it a go. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, Since Installing The April2008 version of the NAM. my eurotextures arent working under the El Rail bridges. I'm using the Sim Forum Bat Teams Euro textures MOD by frimi2 and Left hand drive.

Please help me resolve this as I dont want to have to use the old NAM to keep my citys L train.

Hi, I'm looking for help finding a tutorial or information on making custom props for the lot editor. 1. I made my model in BAT and exported it. 2. I dragged the model in the PIM onto props in the tree. 3. Iset a few properties and save. 4. I open LE and open a plaza 1x1. 5. I go to add a prop and My prop is not in the list. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I am trying to find any info on how to make lots that "overhang" another square like the excellent pegasus CSK canals that go under ELRail etc. If my Prop is too big for the lot would that make it not show in the list in LE? Thanks

Hi all, just getting into BAT and the lot editor and I'm having some problems. Ive made something in the BAT that i want to use as a prop in lot editor. So as I understand it: 1 I export the model from BAT which gives me the the .SC4Model file saved in my plugins folder. 2 I go in PIM and drag the model onto the props item in the tree. 3 I set a few properties and save. 4 I go to lot editor and open a lot (in my case a small plaza) but when I go to add a prop It is not in the list. What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appeciated.
