	The '''"category-class" tag''' of the [[KIND_TrainzBaseSpec\|TrainzBaseSpec]] is the ''key ~~and '''controlling~~ parameter''''~~' defining~~ ''~~which other (~~{{wp\|~~data type}}) entries~~'' ~~are needed in that particular~~ asset'~~s config.txt file. It is the entry which defines the~~ asset ~~type~~, ~~scope~~, ~~and needs~~.		The '''"category-class" tag''' of the [[KIND_TrainzBaseSpec\|TrainzBaseSpec]] is the ''key searching parameter'' defining what or how the human content creator meant for the new asset ''to be used and thought about.''
			{{UserTip\|width=50%\|This is a sometimes nebulous and confusing parameter requiring a new user to develop a degree of mental agility, for example, '''a 'house' asset''' might be classified (Coded by some asset creator) as scenery, building, industry, or even something as wildly inappropriate as 'fauna'.}}

	~~==About Category Class tags==<!--- do not hyphenate or change title... deliberately picked to be a search string variant without a hyphen.~~		The [[KIND]] specification defines which other ({{wp\|data type}}) entries'' are needed'' in that particular asset's config.txt file. It is the entry which defines the asset's type, scope, and needs and the very important parameter that tells TRAINZ how to process and render the specific asset item correctly, error check against the standard for the category-class, and render it into {{wp\|Three-dimensional space\|3D graphics}} models.

	Each Trainz asset's category-class tag helps describe the 'intent' of the Asset in the game, as opposed to the internal structure of the Asset. The classes represent a standardized system for referring to the various types of Locos, Rolling stock, Scenery, Spline and Industry assets. ~~<!--<ref name="CCG-TCs">--x>''(Taken from Content Creators' Guide for Trainz Classics)''<x!--</ref>--->{{FAB-todo\|need references working or can't cite any authorities elsewhere on the wiki}}<!--~~ The Category-class classification codes become important to all Trainzers when searching and/or filtering for suitable assets to make content in a session or route~~, --->~~		Each Trainz asset's category-class tag helps describe the 'intent' of the Asset in the game, as opposed to the internal structure of the Asset. The Content Creators' Guide for Trainz Classics said these classes represent a standardized system for referring to the various types of Locos, Rolling stock, Scenery, Spline and Industry assets. The Category-class classification codes become important to all Trainzers when searching and/or filtering for suitable assets to make into content in a session or route (layout).

+==Category-class code notes==
 New users should be aware that these codes listed below are not the direct ContentManager.exe category sort by classifications as a simple comparison of lists will reveal, but they do affect what is displayed within such a sort filter selection.
 :For example: Set a search filter for ''''''Location>Local + Category>Flora''''''.
 : In the base installed content of TRS2006-SP0 this search will yield diverse assets such as the set of  {'''Flora''' types: SOME few trees, Betonbridge (1,2,&3 tracks), crop splines, sidewalks, road types}
 :but the sort will also list a much larger type group, the set of {Scenery: retaining wall splines (Arkaden...), LOADS of trees and Shrubs including Laubbaum with birds (and sound), grasses (textures?), Logs} and so forth.
-In that search you will also find electrified railroad centenary parts and the occasional animal. The result of such a search will be no better in new Trainz versions, which means the new Trainzer needs to cultivate a certain mental agility when searching for suitable content. No one has the man-power, deep pockets, nor copyright authority to systematically fix such foibles. These codes when applied by the content creator were in many cases cut and pasted into a new similar asset, in others, the way he or she was using the asset in their current project. In short, they are not definitive, but are indicative... even if it is only of the mental state of the creator at the time of donation to the DLS, or as happens in many cases, a case of translation from a native tounge with a different way of thinking than that of English. Rejoice in the positive, they are essentially free and cost you nothing but a bit of puzzlement. Free is good! Having them is better.

No one has the man-power, deep pockets, nor copyright authority to systematically fix such foibles. You as a user, can clone such items and change the classification to something more sensible to yourself. That however, is not an asset you can upload to the Download Station without a copyright clearance from the original asset creator. The Trainz community is severe in policing copyrights violations!
