Between a Ravine and a tall cliff.

[Q] I am currently trying to create a scene where an engine is running on tracks and one one side is a steep ravine and on the other was a locomotive tall cliff where the tracks were cut into the mountain.



[A] You will find this is not the easiest thing to do due the the "baseboard" size, and the way the "smooth" function work but this may help you.



If you lay one track the way you want on the baseboard, then another track (with a number of spline points) next to it (make sure they do not join up by holding down the "shift" key), then lay a third track on the other side of your main track the same way.



Now you have 3 tracks close to each other, so use the spline height thing in Surveyor and give one track a height of -10m's to each spline point. Next on the next track set the spline points to a height of 10m. Now carefully use the smooth function on the two tracks, one track will go up and the other down leaving your main track in the center. You will have to "play" around with this by moving the tracks a bit more apart to get the effect you want but it is the only way I know of and have used in the past reasonable well.
