    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible to delete the OHLE Wires between 2 Masts, without completely deleting one of them.

    Thanks :)

    I've been wondering about this myself, so I have been experimenting and I think I have found a way. However, knowing how the editor is very unpredictable, maybe it is better do some testing to ensure nothing will go horribly wrong.

    However, here's what I did:

    1 - while on Network Edit Mode, use the selection mode and click on the wires. Notice how it selects wires and the overhead masts.

    2 - On the component details on the right side, you can filter the results by writing "wire" and you should then select and delete OHLEWireComponent "files".

    3- Select away of the overhead wires and then select again the overhead masts. You should get those options under the OHLE Mast Actor where it has an option saying "Automatic Placement". Tick that away and...

    click away from catenary_select_mast_autoplacement.JPG

    4 - after ticking away the Automatic Placement, the wires will disappear. You can then use the "Configure OHLE Wiring" mode to connect the wires again. :)

    I guess you already know how to connect the wires manually, but in case you don't, it is very easy: just click the sockets and then click on the other next socket with SHIFT key pressed.

    Uploading one last screenshot to show the wires connected.

    Cool, thanks so much for helping. From what route are the OHLE Masts you are using? In other words, what OHLE System is that?

    Thanks! :)

    You're welcome! Glad I could help. :)

    These OHLE masts are our own Portuguese masts that we have implemented into TSW4. Still WIP. :)
