Help with Standup Coaster

Hey guys, I'm a newbi to No Limits and am working on my first coaster (a standup). After the train exits the first drop, it goes into a dive loop. However, in the editor, when I try to execute the dive loop, as I start to invert the track, it bends in ways I don't want it to. If you understand what I mean, is there a solution? If not, I can email the track to you. Just provide your email. Thanks in advance, Nick.

try using the "rel roll" button, that will orient the vertical to the same banking of the previous one

Yup that did it! Thanks, I was wondering what that button did.

no problem, I almost never use it cause it can kinda mess up the bankings some times, you can always just put a 180 bank on it.

its the only way to make custom loops[:)]

No, I make my loops without that.

how... the only other option that i can think of is prefabs

Well, I definitly want to avoid prefabs. I want my first ride to go off with a bang you know? So it's gonna be cool. Right now, just have to work out a few smoothness issues, and then... well, build the rest of the track! [;)]

Ok, new question. Is there any way to lock track that I've already built and positioned properly, so that I don't accidentally move it? I realize there is Undo, but I like the added security.

nope, at least not that i know of.

COULD SAVE IT AS AN ELEMENT

Ok, so you use Rel Roll for loops, and Con Roll for turns?

you, you highlight a segment of track, hold Ctrl and highlight every single segment of track you want to save as an element, then once you highlight all the segments that you want go to file > save element.

You don't have to use rel roll for loops, it might be better, but con roll definetly helps turns.

Alright awsome. I figured out C2 locks the beziel points to make sure they are always eqaul distance, but what do you use it for? Sorry for all the questions, but the help file isn't the greatest.

It makes helices smooth, but I don't use it, it sucks and messes your track up [:(!]
