    Don't forget Mr.X2 advice about the pivot position. Its place is the center of the base. This is very important. There's a good explanation about that in the first tuto by Mr.X2.

    got a feeling the layout isnt correct??:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
    <!--Layout file generated with 3ds Max scripted plugin by Altiris 2013-->
    <Layout>
    <Type>BASE</Type>
    <BaseFileName>""</BaseFileName>
    <Tag>""</Tag>
    <FilterType>MAXIMUM</FilterType>
    <LayoutEntry>
    <ID>Plug001</ID>
    <Type>PLUG</Type>
    <PrototypeFile>data/design/editor/plug.class</PrototypeFile>
    <Position>0.0,-6.0,0.0</Position>
    <Rotation>0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0</Rotation>
    </LayoutEntry>
    </Layout>

    Yes, it won't works. But it's a good beginning. You need to add a track and two junctions after the plug. Follow the tuto included in the Cities Xl Layout File Creator. The pages 2 and 3 explain how to add them.

    yeah i see... some parts of the models are shifted backwards, you need to fill this area with a base (a simple plane) (some pavement/concrete texture or so)..

    You can use any size you want. Lower sizes are for optimization and performance purposes
