editor questions

[dtholm]

I just started to lean the editor. I can add rolling stock to a route.
What is the white and orange icon for and why does it turn green
if I move my mouse over it. I cloned the Test track and added a
few engines and tanks cars to it. Ever thing runs like it should but
I have one small problem. I do not know what I did
or how I did it or even how to fix it. When I open the route up
I have a close up of one of the bottom of one of my engines.
This is in both the editor and in the sim. I can use the arrow
keys to get a normal few. Is there an easy fix. If I re clone
the route please tell me what not to do so I do not make the same
mistake.

lol, you scenario icon (that floating box) can be moved around and that is your default start position when entering the editor or scenario. just click on it, move it up and down with the large arrows that show up, and the rest is simple.

More editor Questions.

Why did the orange icon turn green? It also turns Red. I know it is a starting point
but I still do not want a close up of one engine. I would like to zoom out. I did place it
where I wanted it but I want a bigger picture.
How do I lock it in place so i do not move it when working on something else?
My rolling stock can be green or red what is the diff?
I'm working on the tutorials they seem to help me a lot.
RW needs some for the editor.

can you post a picture of your problem, i am not quite shure what you mean and a pic could solve your problems.

I merged your latest post with the other topic you had going on about that orange icon.
It might help folks understand better what you're talking about if you kept all your questions pertaining to one problem in the same thread.
