What is the Bulk Asset Update/Replace Tool?
 |
The Bulk Asset Update/Replace Tool allows the replacement, deletion and modification of multiple instances of one or more different assets, including textures, throughout an entire layout, a single baseboard or a selected area. |
You will find the tool in the Surveyor Main Menu.
The tool automates the tedious process of deleting and replacing objects one at a time, as well as other tasks. It allow the mass simultaneous:-
- deletion of objects
- replacement of one or more objects by another object
- random rotation of objects
- movement of objects from one layer to another
These processes can be performed over the entire layout, a single baseboard or in a selected area only.
Most of them can also be performed on a randomly selected percentage, from 5% to 95%, of the designated objects.
The replacement operation can be performed on textures.
|
When objects are being replaced they must be of the same general type - e.g. both must be spline objects, or both must be non-spline objects, or both must be textures, etc |
Things it Will Not Do
The Bulk Asset Update/Replace Tool cannot be used on:-
- bridge spline objects
- tunnel spline objects
It cannot be used to replace a non-spline scenery object with a spline scenery object, and visa-versa. Likewise, signal objects cannot be replaced with switch or lever objects.
