(...) I do plan on integrating monorail directly into several modules. I will use the 10 brick height as a starting reference point. I can then use the ramps to either raise it or lower it by 10 depending on what it is going through or around. (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

<snip> (...) Hm (Thinking about something like a monorail station)...21 bricks and 1 plate minus a "down" ramp which is 10 high and you have = 11 bricks and 1 plate. Deduct the one plate for a moonbase floor, and you have 1 brick difference (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Yup. (...) To be compatible with the standard, you want to put track at a multiple of 10 bricks. The track can be at any multiple of 10, and when setting up the base, we will do the best we can to connect to your track (obviously if you go for (...) (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
