Hi Carlos,

I recently bought RailClone Pro and am starting to use it.  (I think it's great!).

I have a road scene and I am using the default traffic cones at 100ft spacing (segment padding 50, 50).  The roadway spline is very simple and straight with a couple of hills.  When I make my railclone of traffic cones, for the most part they are fine but in a couple of spots the cones don't precisely follow the spline and are slightly below grade (see attached image).

I can fix this by converting the railclone to mesh and moving them manually.  The only thing I can think of is that the road spline is very long (several miles) and maybe this scale is causing this?

Thanks!

It's a problem of how we have defined this element in the library: we use the Padding to space the cones, but this method doesn't work well for long splines.

Please, do this:

- Set the default Segment to "none".
- Assign the cone to Evenly->Segment.
- Set the distance in Evenly->Distance.
- Set the paddings to zero.

We will fix this object in the library in the next update.
