    Build before putting line down?

    Do we have to place the start/finish before we can start building?

    I what i do is make a short path, one meter. After build and move the line. There is no other way, you are forced to place the start and end.

    You do know that you can reposition the path nodes, right?

    I think the point is that it is an annoyance when you're building a heavily themed track which doesn't require terrain.

    putting your start checkpoint down, and your last checkpoint ISNT the 'line' or 'drive line'.. not in so many words anyway...your line is what you turn it into...this can obviously be good or bad depending on your knowledge and skills at building...

    Terrain mods are a quality tool in the editor with so many possibilities...

    Be careful when placing additional spline points (yellow square) as smaller moves can affect previous line positioning.

    I thought that was one of the bad things that can come from build then line jobby. How do you add spline points?

    Hit the 'y' button on the spline point, but you CANT add points from the end. Only points before the end.
