Thanx for this answer, now I know where to create the metal pieces.
Now I've got another question about metal parts
(yes, questions, questions, questions, .... ;-) )
How accurate need metal pieces to be created.
This wheek I created the blue track era 12 volt conductor rail.
When I measure the metal conductor pieces, they are about
0.5 LDU thick. This causes some bleeding effects in some
viewers, like L3Lab. Should I create the metal pieces twice
as thick ?
