When you start Trainz Plus and TRS22 Platinum the world presented will look something like the following images, but what you actually see can be highly customised to your own preferences. |
Surveyor 2.0
The dark grey strips on the left and right of the screen contain Palettes that have been Docked into the positions shown. Palettes are where selections can be made, information displayed and controls set. | |||
|
|
|
Driver
|
All the windows in Driver are normally hidden.

Minimising will hide a palette or window but retain its size and position data. |
![]() |
Maximising will return a palette or window to the screen using its last size and position data. |

The image below shows a Surveyor 2.0 screen with an open window box (the Find Object Tool) and two Undocked palettes (Info and Layers)

[edit] The Info Palette |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
This is a Surveyor Only palette |
|
This palette can be easily overlooked but it has some very useful features:- | |
![]() |
naming objects |
![]() |
providing precise data and control over the "focus" - the position of the cursor |
![]() |
providing precise data and control over the position and orientation of objects (it can be used instead of the ![]() ![]() |
![]() |
identifying and setting the "home" layer and binding layer of a selected object |
![]() |
used for locking and unlocking a selected objects layer |
The components of the Info Palette are identified in the image below.
![]() |
|
[edit] Palette Coordinates |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
|
![]() |
[edit] Info Settings Menu |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
All the Focus, Position and Rotation settings have drop down menus that allow values to be transferred to and from other settings and other tools.
![]() ![]() |
|
Next to the z co-ordinate in both the Focus and Position is a small white down arrowhead. Left Click on the arrowhead to open its menu.
![]() |
There is only one option in the sub-menu.
|
[edit] Focus Info and Controls |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
The Focus shows the current position and height of the Cursor object. |
Open up the Focus by a Left Click on its arrowhead icon.
![]() |
|
|
[edit] Asset Name Menu |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
"Asset Name" refers to the name of the asset as displayed in the Assets Palette and in Content Manager. This is not the same as the Object Name (see the next section) |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for an Asset Name to be shown and for this menu to be available.
![]() |
If more than one object has been selected then the name and position data shown will be for the last selected object. If different objects (with different kuid codes) have been selected then a count of the additional objects will be added. The (+2) shown in the object name in the image on the left indicates that 2 additional different objects are in the group of selected objects. |
Next to the Asset Name is a small white Down Arrowhead. Left Click on the arrowhead to open its menu.
![]() |
|
[edit] Object Name |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
"Object Name" refers to the name that you give to an object |
You can give any object in your Trainz World an identifying name. In some cases a name is vital for AI and session operations, in other cases it will be needed as a display feature - for example: to be shown on a station nameboard. You must have the object (or objects) selected for this option to be available. If more than one object has been selected then only the last object (the one with the Context Icon) will be affected |
![]() |
|
![]() |
|
[edit] Position Info and Controls |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the position data to be shown and edited. Open up the position data by a Left Click on its Pos: arrowhead icon.
![]() |
The position of the selected object (or the last object if more than one is selected) is shown in the x, y and z text boxes. These values can be edited to move the object or objects to a new position but CARE will be needed.
|
[edit] Rotation Info and Controls |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the rotation data to be shown and edited. Open up the rotation data by a Left Click on its Rot: arrowhead icon.
![]() |
The rotational orientation of the selected object (or the last object if more than one is selected) is shown in the r:, p: and y: text boxes (the letters stand for Roll, Pitch and Yaw). These values can be edited to rotate the object or objects in 3D space BUT not all objects can be rotated in certain directions.
|
|
[edit] Layer Info and Controls |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the layer data to be shown and edited. Open up the layer data by a Left Click on its Layer: arrowhead icon. |
|
For a single selected object | ||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() |
This will show the:-
|
For multiple selected objects | |||||
![]() |
|
[edit] Assigning Objects to a Different Layer |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
The Active Layer is the layer used by the Placement Tool when objects are added to your Trainz World. |
A selected object or group of selected objects can be assigned to a different layer. If multiple objects have been selected then they do not have to all be in the same layer.
![]() |
|
|
|
|
[edit] Assigning Objects to a Binding Layer |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
The Binding Layer, or Bound Layer as it is also called, is a tool used in the development of your Trainz World. It allows you to temporarily assign an object to a second layer while it is still in its original layer. The object will then take on the properties (Locked or Unlocked, Hidden or Visible) of both layers. |
|
|
|

As an example, the image below shows what you will see for a single object that has had:- | |||||||||

Legacy Industries are those that were created for older versions of Trainz |
![]() |
Many legacy industry assets will work with the Industry Properties Window but, in general, the lower the Asset Build Number of an industry asset (i.e. the older the Trainz version it was designed for) the less likely it is that it will work correctly or at all |
![]() |
Legacy industry assets that do not work within the Industry Properties Window can sometimes be accessed and controlled through the Script Properties section of the window |
Often the only way to discover if an "older" or Legacy Industry asset will work in the Industry Properties Window, and in the TLR (available in Trainz Plus only), is to open its Industry Properties Window and see what appears. If the Industry Properties Window appears with the Commodity Levels and Industry Processes sections, both with products as shown in Examples 1 to 3 in the section above, then the industry is compatible with the new interface and with the TLR. |

Treatment |
If the Script Properties section contains the legacy (TRS19 and earlier) Industry Properties Window, like the examples shown below, then it is likely (but not 100% certain) that this object will work as an industry | ||||||||
Other interface designs and colour schemes are possible | ||||||||

When finished Left Click on the Save Changes button at the bottom right of the window![]() |
|
Close the Industry Properties Window | |
Reopen the Industry Properties Window for the same industry object |
Recovery |
If, after reopening the Industry Properties Window, you see all the Commodity Level and Input/Output Processes present and filled out to the values you just set then the procedure has been successful, but there is no 100% guarantee that the Legacy Industry will work perfectly.![]() |
