What is it you're trying to delete that you're having the trouble with?
As an alternate way to Delete things, click on an object to select it, then press your Delete key on your keyboard.

im trying to delete a crossing gae/arm. but when i hit the delete key or the trash can in the world editor nothing happens. the lightpole/arm is still there.

Sounds like you need to delete the whole crossing. Look for the red ball next to it. Also. Allot of keyboard short cuts work when in the editor. Like when building a route and you want to do allot of copy pasting. Ctrl + C = copy Ctrl + V = Paste etc, etc.....

yeah but if i do how do i restore the traffic? cause it will pull up and stop but won't move again after the train goes past. cause theres a blue box for the bell sound for the crossing and then another box with a dimond inside that as i understand is controlling the traffic. how do i restore that?

[csx6063]

ok i got the copy and paste figured out. i will do that for my crossings that are giving me trouble.

i found the crossing im trying to work on. i have a screen shot of the gate. now theres some kind of diamond thing in the center of this track. i have tried to copy it. but it will not copy or paste. now all the other crossings have been put up and deleted. but this on will not do it.

That looks like a sounds emitter, and there is another set of crossing guards already there. What is it you are trying to do?

[csx6063]

right the 2nd set of guards is the ones i want. but that sounds emitter is tied into the old gates im trying to delete. i checked it. some how or the other ya can't copy and paste that. also some how that has the movement of the traffic tied into it. heres the diamond im talking about inside that sound emitter. how do i keep this but get rid of the old gates?

[csx6063]

well i did some research. and that diamond thing comes with level crossing us. smm digital does now work with that. thats a bummer.

I'm having trouble deleteing 2 switches on Bath-Templecombe.

I've run into the same problem in the scenario editor: I place an object, right click to avoid placing another copy, then left-click on the object I just places and nothing happens. Sometimes, moving the camera around helps, but quite often that object just does not respond to a click. This happens most often with people. A few days ago, I discovered that clicking near the person and dragging out a circle "captures" the figure, which can then be deleted and, in some cases, moved. Something interesting is that in these cases, the repositioning device (that multi-colored ball & arrows device) is located off to the side of the object rather than very close to it as is usual. Next time I run into this, I'll take a few screenshots.
