Colored Handrails in NL

[RavineFlyer2fan]

I recently found out how to color the handrails in NL a different color from the supports, but this is time consuming and when the track is rendered, the handrails have no stanchions(supports). Is there a fast way to color all of the handrails, and how do I keep the handrail supports? PLEASE HELP!!

 

Thanks!

What game? What handrails?

 

Draw distance has nothing to do with this (your remark on things disappearing).

Assuming your talking about NL, I don't think you can do it any other way unless you use an environment. I'm not even sure you can do the latter either.

NL1.7 has the great feature of coloring individual supports.

There are a few ways of getting the handrails a different color.

The fastest way is this:

 

Let NoLimits generate auto supports. Then delete every bit of handrail you see.

Now move the track up with an easy and exact amount, say 60 feet.

 

Start the support generator again and fill it in like the picture below.

 

Now you should have:

1. a whole lot of supports without handrail and track on the ground.

2. the track and handrails floating in the air up high.

 

Now you simply select all of the handrails, color them the way you want, and move them down with the track that exact 60 feet.

 

If you have any troubles, we'll hear about it.
