Hello all
Hope I am not offending anyone with this question and as well hope it is not annoying as it has been so well discussed (kinda just getting back into the hobby so have not been around for a few years), but is there any possibility of importing any RR worked files into SCARM?
I have one which while the track is a bit, moreover though, it's a living room layout I did where I basically CAD'ed out a room and all the furniture in my living room by first creating objects in all kinds ways to best as possible recreate them not only visually but more so by their exact dimensions, then placed them in as exact measurement as possible in both location and distances to things thus essentially recreating it in the program so that I could then use all of that as reference points for what would fit and could be done.
Then after that I did do a bit of an involved layout as the track runs in all kinds of ways in an out an around and under all this furniture....so its kinda intricate in that respect too.
So all in all, if I had to redo all that from scratch again it would take for ever.
Anyway, just thought I would explain why I am looking for this.
Thanks for any help.
Hi WBFLine,
The file formats are different, so you cannot import the file directly. There is a workaround that may help.
- Open the file in RR with the detailed view displayed.
- Open the Snipping tool in Windows and capture that view and save it with a name in a location that you can find.
- Open SCARM
- Select the View menu, then click on background Image
- Point the context menu to the snipped .jpg of the RR view.
- This sets the background on the SCARM layout
- Now you can overlay SCARM tracks and objects on top of the background.
I know, it's from scratch, but it's a little better than NO YOU CAN'T DO IT.
