Pivot point on multiple track sections

Unread postby KKaiser4 » Fri May 25, 2012 12:01 am

Hi everyone, I am just getting my feet wet in route building. I am currently messing around with two different prototype routes. It would be a huge help if there is a way to change the pivot point when rotating mulitple sections of tangent track. My route has several long tangent sections and trying to line them up with the decal is a challenge. I know you can click the middle or ends of on one section of track to select the pivot point but when I select multiple sections of track with the CTRL key it seems to just want to pivot in the middle, I was hoping for a way to keep one end fixed and pivot all the sections at an end point. Is this possible?

Thanks!

The way I do it is to select all the track sections I want to adjust (ctrl + click) and then use the F and G keys to rotate them.
