SURVEYOR 2.0

S20 is the best way to create in Trainz! S20 changes the way you create routes and sessions in Trainz! It streamlines your creation experience in so many ways and updates Trainz world building tools to a much more modern approach.

Route Creation Has Changed Forever! Scrapbook is a major upgrade to the old Copy/Paste tools by way of painting, cloning and sharing. Scrapbooks are a new Asset Type that provide the ability to copy and save a part of your route, then reuse that scene in other routes.

Add or Delete Multiple Baseboards To add new baseboards, simply drag the Marquee off the edge of the existing baseboards, then select Set Marquee to Brush Height. This will create new baseboards at the current brush height. To delete baseboards, drag over one or more existing baseboard edges then use Context Menu > Delete Baseboards Containing Marquee.

Multi Object Select & Update The Marquee Tool is used to create a rectangular selection box. All of the objects within the Selection Area are selected, along with the Ground, any Effect Layers, and the Ground Textures. Use advanced options and filters to make your selection, then move, rotate, delete and perform many more actions on that selection.

Move & Rotate The gizmo is an important new concept in Trainz. Gizmos can be used to move or rotate the selected objects, splines, terrain, and ground textures in any direction. Each selected spline segment will display three gizmos - one for each vertex, and a single gizmo for the entire segment.

More Functionality For Selected Objects When an object is selected, it is highlighted, and shows a Contextual Menu icon based upon the Asset Category. Clicking the Menu Anchor will open the Contextual Menu, which lists a range of additional operations that can be applied to the selection. Different options are offered depending on the active tool and object types selected.

Introducing Palettes S20 introduces a new system of Palettes that can each be moved, resized, minimised, shown, or hidden, so you can customize the layout of your workspace. Palettes can provide detailed information about your selected objects, or a set of controls used to edit and manipulate everything within the world.

The Power of Content Manager In-Game! The Assets Palette lists all the assets available to you to use in the Route you are creating. To quickly narrow down the list of assets, use the preset Category Filters by clicking on any of the Filter icons or select a custom list/picklist. Advanced functionality helps find objects in your route by using clever filters like "Filter Selection" or "Filter Visibility" on the assets listed.

3D Thumbnails Asset thumbnails can now be displayed in 3D within the Asset Palette. This provides you with the flexibility to choose between the traditional 2D thumbnails or the option to view each asset with a 3D thumbnail. This enhancement aims to assist you in easily identifying the assets that best suit your needs when creating your route. And so much more... Tools The Tools Palette provides a range of powerful tools that can be used to build your Trainz world. No more single tool for a single asset type. Use one tool across multiple assets! Layers Palette List all route, session and effect layers to have them always in view and to show the current layer you are working in. Brush The Brush Tool is now multi-purpose and used to painting ground textures, effect layers, scrapbook assets and terrain manipulation. And your brush is now unlimited in size! Eyedropper Use the Eyedropper Tool to identify Assets in the 3D world, add them to picklists, get the ground height or instantly pick rolling stock, ground textures, scenery assets or splines and start painting or placing more. Preview Palette No more teeny tiny 3D asset preview window. The new Preview Palette allows you to resize and reposition it to always have a clear 3D preview of the selected asset. Many Additional S20 features Unlimited brush radius size, instantly see object and compass positions, easily find which layer you're working in or an object belongs to, perform bulk operations on multiple assets types and so much more!
