Every asset has a '''KUID''' (unique identifier). When an asset (selected in the '''Assets Palette''') is placed into the world, the instance of the asset in the world 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.

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'''.

| |
− | 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.

When you start adding a spline to a route it will always be placed at the height of the terrain regardless of the Tool Options Height setting.
However, you can set the end point heights of any selected segment.
Track objects that have been moved away from or closer to the track will still function normally.
A selected track mesh object, or a group of selected track mesh objects, will have a Context Icon that opens a Context Menu. The icon design will vary between object types.
Splines are frequently made of multiple segments joined together. You can easily move a spline by moving its segments, individually or as a group.
A selected scenery spline object, or a group of selected scenery spline objects, will have a Context Icon that opens a Context Menu. The icon design will vary between object types.
Using the same situation as above, the isolated guard van and the gondola wagon at the end of a consist are to be coupled together.
A selected rolling stock object, or a group of selected rolling stock objects, will have a Context Icon that opens a Context Menu. The icon design will vary between object types.
A selected track mesh object, or a group of selected track mesh objects, will have a Context Icon that opens a Context Menu. The icon design will vary between object types.

A selected rolling stock object, or a group of selected rolling stock objects, will have a Context Icon that opens a Context Menu. The icon design will vary between object types.
You must have an object (or objects) selected for a name to be shown and for this menu to be available.
You must have an object (or objects) selected for the position data to be shown and edited. Open up the position data by Left clicking on its Pos: arrowhead icon.
