Roundhouse Doors

Unread postby railduffer » Tue Feb 17, 2015 11:33 am

I am still new to Route building. I'm trying to learn.
I have installed the turntable,tracks and GX Roundhouse. Now I am lost as to how to attach the doors to the roundhouse.
I have lined up and attached one set of doors with the yellow box at the opening (when I look at the RWA route, the box is in front of the Roundhouse opening). Then I click on the box and an arrow box comes up pointing each way. I moved that to about where I thought the LOCO should be when the doors open. Another arrow box pops up (2), so I placed that where I thought the doors should close. Then a third box is visible. The RWA Roundhouse looked nothing like this when looking at the route. Now I'm lost.
Could someone please help me with this. Also is there an easier way to align the doors properly. This dummy needs detailed instruction.
Thank you for any help.

I figured it out.
I do want to assure the forum that I have no intention of publishing any route that I have built. You guys are very proficient. I could not possibly come up to your quality.
I do these things simply for my own enjoyment. The enjoyment for me is the learning.
Many of you have helped me with things in the past, and I am grateful.
Thanks

Could someone provide instructions on placing the doors? I too looked at the RWA Lakeside route to see how they are placed, but can't figure out the proper way. Thanks for any help.

Tab key and slide into place maybe.

Here's what I got to work, after trial and error:

1) Position the doors' yellow square marker on the track leading into the roundhouse, then

2) place the first yellow ribbon/arrows on the door sill, then

3) the place the next two ribbons/arrows on the ends of the track. Within those two final ribbon markers, the presence of an engine will cause the doors to open or remain open.

4) After the above, one can position the actual doors by dragging or rotating.

Thanks to the asset provider for this neat feature.
