In this online documentation, the term <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px;">Asset</span> is used when discussing the items listed in '''Content Manager''' and the '''Assets Palette'''. Every asset has a '''KUID''' (unique identifier). When an asset (selected in the '''Assets Palette''') is placed into the Trainz World, the instance of the asset is referred to as an <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px;">Object</span>. There are multiple types of object, such as Scenery, Splines, Trains, Trackside, etc.

When painting with a '''TurfFX Effect Layer''' or a '''Clutter Effect Layer''' brush, care must be taken when near the edge of the route. Painting over the edge will create "floating" effect layer artifacts. This can occur in both '''Surveyor 2.0''' and '''Surveyor Classic'''. The same effect will occur if an effect layer is painted over a dig-hole, such as those used at tunnel entrances.</td>

Each spline segment, curved or straight, is described using just 4 points regardless of its length and complexity. This gives significant savings in storage and processing. Unfortunately, real world curves are rarely described by simple '''Bezier Curves'''. This can sometimes create difficulties when modelling curves from the real world so approximations often have to be used in the '''Trainz World'''.

'''Workaround:''' Track objects are normally placed in the '''route-layer'''. Toggle the '''route-layer''' visibility control (its "eye" icon [[image:LayerEyeOpen_S20.png|link=]] in the '''Layers Palette''') to '''OFF''' ("hide") and then back to '''ON''' ("show").

----
It is possible to place a rolling stock object so that it "overlaps" (occupies the same space as) another rolling stock object. A large yellow <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 17px;">X</span> rotating above the rolling stock object is a sign of this "conflict".<br>
This can happen if a rolling stock object is moved off the track and released. It will instantly snap to the nearest track position even if that position is already occupied.<br>
[[image:PlacementRollingStockCollision_S20.png|360px|link=]]<br>
The simple solution is to use the '''Free Move Tool''' to move the incorrectly placed object to an unoccupied section of the track.

It is possible to place a rolling stock object so that it "overlaps" (occupies the same space as) another rolling stock object. A large yellow <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 17px;">X</span> rotating above the rolling stock object is a sign of this "conflict".<br><br>

There are some important considerations and restrictions that may affect the viability of converting an entire route to HD. They are:-
<table>
<tr valign="top">
<td width=10>[[image:DotPoint.JPG|10px|link=]]</td>
<td>the '''HD''' route, after conversion from a 10m grid, for example, will be '''at least''' <span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 15px;">5x</span> the file size of the original route. If the original route is already large then this could easily push it over the limit ('''1GB''') for saving as a '''.cdp''' file.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>[[image:DotPoint.JPG|10px|link=]]</td>
<td>'''HD''' routes have a limit of 16 different ground textures <span style="font-weight: 700; text-decoration: underline;">per baseboard</span> but each baseboard can have a different set of 16 textures. '''This is a limitation caused by hardware, not software'''.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>[[image:DotPoint.JPG|10px|link=]]</td>
<td>If more than 16 textures are identified in a single baseboard then the extra textures will be replaced by one of those already present in that baseboard. The upgrade process will continue as this is not a "fatal error". You will be given the '''Focus''' co-ordinates of any affected baseboards so you can inspect the baseboard(s) for any noticeable changes</td>

<td>[[image:DotPoint.JPG|10px|link=]]</td>
<td>'''Legacy Water''', which was normally painted onto the terrain using a brush, will be converted to a '''Water Effect Layer''' which will cover the entire layout.
