• When you export in part 1, and before you open the export dialog, does your TransDEM window look like it does in the manual? Yes
  
  If not make sure it does:
  UTM and baseboard grid visible, DEM loaded, map loaded, vector loaded, rectangle mask set.
  
  Yes
• Export as described in the manual. Yes
• In Trainz Content Manager, delete any previous Muengsten routes, to avoid confusion. Yes
• Then import the new TransDEM export. (Do not add UTM tiles or vectors, yet). Yes
• Open the imported route in Surveyor. Does it have terrain? Does it have ground textures?

No

Sorry, Yes all the files are there. ( I forgot to make the rectangular mask, but now it is there and the files are there).

Open the imported route in Surveyor. Does it have terrain? Does it have ground textures?

No - the Muengsten route shows in TRS2019, but it is only the DEM, and no map..

Then please double-check that you really, really have installed the TransDEM ground textures, in particular as you re-installed Trainz.

Sorry, I didn't think of that. So I now have both the DEM and map for Muengsten!

Does that mean I can now go ahead with the route a want to work on?

Well, first complete the next two steps of the tutorial, adding UTM tiles and vector data.

You have to import the route in Trainz Content Manager again after that. In Trainz, delete the previously imported route before doing so. TransDEM makes the route changes to its own export, not to the imported copy of the route in Trainz.

OK I'll do that.

But first Easter holidays at the cottage from tomorrow, so I will get back to it in a week or so..

Thankyou for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Hello again.

I have just got back from Easter break.

I completed the Muengsten tutorials Part 2 and 3, and it all seems to work as it should.

Now I guess I can try my own route again and go through the whole process.. ?

I tried my new route again, but after Part 1 I got a message "Error importing map files".

And I tried one more time and it worked - not sure how!

Many thanks for your help. Now I can continue!
