How to do a Reverse Loop: By Tom Goodrick

Keyboard Keys:

You can use Ctrl C for and Ctrl V for Copy and Paste objects in the Editor. You can also use the Alt Key on the Move and Rotate Tools to Lock a movement. It takes practice, but you’ll see what I mean. Can also use the NumKey Arrows for the Move and Rotate Tools ( Very Usefull ).

T - Hit the T key to flip the track piece around. Like from a left turn to a right turn, also works on switches to get the correct position.

 Hit the Y to form the terrain around your track. Like use the Rotate tool to raise or lower the track and hit the Y. The terrain will then form to the track piece.

H - Hit the H to put the selected object at ground level, you can also hold it down while moving objects.

W - Toggles wireframe on and off, useful sometimes...try it!

F - Flatten the current selected terrain

To rename the sidings or platforms, just select them (you need to have the select object tool)then right click and you should be able to select properties. Then you can rename them all you want. Thanks RailRoadKing
