    Hi,
    so I built a lot of tracks on my current route Hauptstrecke Hannover - Hamburg, but most of the Tracks I built were at a time when I did not have a lot of experience with the editor. So I did not put in any value for Superelevation for the tracks. That means almost everything has no superelevation. I am not an expert at this, but I have found out that you can add Super elevation afterward, my problem is, I do not know how much to add.
    Now my question is, is there any way to automatically add super elevation to all of my already laid tracks, without doing it all manually or placing all Tracks again? Is there maybe a command or so that would regenerate all tracks?

    Thanks to everyone for helping :)

    On Lukas' masterclass video, he explains how to apply super elevation to already laid tracks ( as that's how it is done on TSW4 ). So having the tracks already down on their place isn't an issue. :)

    He talks about it from an hour and 20 minutes into the video, I have included the timestamp here:

    thanks, but that is kind of a lot of work considering the size of my route. Also, I do not really know anything about the amount of superelevtation

    That's what Wikipedia is for. The article has all the information on how to calculate the minimum, regular, and maximum amount of superelevation for any given curve.

    And that's why you should choose a small project for your first route. You'll inevitably get to a point where you learn new things and discover that you did some things wrong, and may even have to start over again (but, not in this case as shown.)

    Your first route will only serve as a learning project for yourself. That's the reason why most of the announced projects here will silently vanish.

    Must admit I tend to avoid the red “Creation Sharing” threads like the plague. I applaud the optimism and the efforts that are being made to create these routes, but TBH my main reason for visiting this forum is to find out how people are solving problems and helping us all get our heads around the editor. Something DTG need to be concentrating on a little bit more IMO.
