Fabartus: stub edit, Category-class (Half evolved and reworked)

<p>stub edit, Category-class (Half evolved and reworked)</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{ORP-top}}<br />
=CATEGORY CLASS=<br />
<br />
The Category Class is listed in the config.txt file of each item of content. 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">-->''(Taken from Content Creators' Guide for Trainz Classics)''<!--</ref>--->{{FAB-todo|need references working or can't cite any authorities elsewhere on the wiki}}<br />
<br />
They are thus part of each assets [[config.txt file]]s and appear within the [[TrainzBaseSpec]] as 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.<br />

<br />
Each Category Class may have a number of subcategories as listed below. Please choose the most appropriate Category Class for your item. Select the Class from the [[Content Creator Plus]] drop down menu box - only one class may be selected for an asset.<br />
<br />
Selecting a correct Category Class is important since Trainz will allow users to use the Category Class as a sort and selection criteria.<br />
