freaq Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hello Odforce, this is my first post and topic at Odforce, I have to say I am very impressed by the work I have seeen so far, and I am a bit nervous to post my own work between such fantastic npiring pieces... so first things firs, who am I? My name is Freek Hoekstra, and I am a Student at IGAD and my supervisor is Kim Goosens, (who also visits the forums regurarly) and for my specialisation i am creating a procedural railroad solution. designed to be work from an input in the form of a few curves. the procedure adjeust these curves to make switches where needed. landsapce integration is something I want to add later. currently working on the support beams in beneath the switches, these are not stable yet, as the numbering of the curves changes depending on the direction of the curve. I need some way to select the straight curve that gets intersected the most amount of times, if anyone has any thoughts (or any other critiques) they would be greatly appreciated. dear regards; Freek hoekstra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan_red Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey Freek, Looking good! Will the curves always output 2 tracks ? It might be nice if you could define (by attribute on the curve maybe) if the curve should generate one or multiple tracks. As for the finding the most number of intersections. Maybe you could try to find which curve has the most number of cv's on it. Keep up the nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could try to find which curve has the most number of cv's on it. Keep up the nice work. at the moment the procedure generates 2 rails standard, I have a version which only processes one rail, and I do plan to integrate an option to either generate one or 2 rails, however I can foresee some problems when connecting the two, it might not be as easy as it looks. I could look at the number of CV's it might work, also I need to sort by the number of intersections to get it truly stable, but quite happy with the procedure so far. thank you for your thoughts! i'll give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
