I am looking for the heavy duty 6 wire electrical transmission lines/towers that are very common in Ohio. They have the four legs,taper in the middle,then the arms Y at the top. Jerry's towers that have the 4 straight legs, are the closest I have seen. Am I missing something?

Well I solved my own problem. I have to remember this program was designed by Brits. Pylon,US is exactly the one I need. "Pylon", is a term I just do not think to use.

That is nice work. I read your posts about creating in Blender. My understanding is that Blender has a steeper learning curve than 3D Crafter,which many seem to be using for RW. I have done a little bit in Gmax,and am about to get serious for content creation. Did it take you a while to get your first object into a sim?

Actually, getting into the sim is the easy part...getting it to look good in the sim is the hard part. It didn't take that long. Blender can be overwhelming at first with all it's bells and whistles. Much of it you will never use. It's something you have to stick with and it will get easier as time goes on. Also, it help to have a Blender Guru on your side that you can contact when you have questions. Lastly, I download and watched every video tutorial from this place...
http://gryllus.net/Blender/3D.htmlI downloaded the videos and kept them handy so I could refresh my memory on a particular subject if I needed to. As time goes on, Blender gets easier and easier and eventually it's even fun.

Thanks for the response. As long as RW has been around,I have been looking at tutorials for content creation. I just had not decided to buy Crafter,or D/L Blender. I know there is a large support group for Bleander,and that may be the way I go.

Honestly, Blender is easy to use.
Yes, it has a million functions, but you'll use about 20 of them.
