How to Draw Rails
Design simple and complex rails by following this tutorial.
How to Plan a Rail Drawing
Rails are a difficult object to draw, as there can be infinite different variations. To draw accurate rails, it’s best to plan (on pen and paper) the following
- Rail points (junction points)
- The elevation of each point
With this in mind, it is a matter of drawing a line between these points.
How to Draw Rails in Top View
It is much easier to draw any floor plan or modification using a bird’s eye view. The next steps are:
- Place your starting point
- Set the elevation of the first section of the rail, as it will dictate the subsequent elevation
- Press up, down, left or right on your keyboard
- Set the elevation of each point
Once the top view has been successfully drawn, it should directly translate into a 3D perspective.
Taking 3D Exports of Rail Home Modifications
For Moddy users, the 3D drawing is automatically generated from the top view design.
The challenge with drawing rails in 3d is that it is difficult to gauge the depth of an environment. As such, it is our create the rails in 2d only, and simply export the 3D diagram as required.
