README FOR:  SRVOCBrd.zip and the archived contents.

WARNING!!! Although I am generally using a route standard naming for .ace .s and .sd file. I am Not responsable if you accidently overwrite an existing .ace, .s, or .sd file and screw up your route. If in doubt, back up your textures and shapes file before installing. Some other shapes using the SRV_ prefix from my submissions may share the same ace textures and will not be affected if they are overwritten

Contents: Shapes of bridge sections to assemble the complete Ohio Crossing Bridge or any other bridge using similar spans. TSModeler parts included.

to install:
1: unzip to a temp folder with "use folder names" on.

2: go to folder where you unziped the files to and copy and paste the .s and .sd files from the Shapes folder to the Shapes folder of the route you wish to use them in.

3:  go back to folder where you unziped the files to and copy and paste the .ace  files from the Textures folder to the Textures folder of the same route (as in step2).

4: BACKUP the .REF file for the route (normaly ROUTE-NAME.ref  EG: marias.ref) to a safe place.

5: go to folder where you unziped the files to and open "OhioCrossing.ref" with WORDPAD and copy and paste ALL THE TEXT from  OhioCrossing.ref to the .ref file of the route REMEMBER TO SAVE IT AS "UNICODE TEXT".

The bridge parts will be found in the "Bridges" class and will have OC in the name of their parts.

	To construct the Ohio Crossing Bridge, you will use the following custom assemblies. They will lay out from West to East.
1. OCSouthEndPier
2. OCSouthViaduct
3. OC420ftArchTrussBridge
4. OCSouthIslandViaduct
5. OCMid5IslandViaduct. Note, this 4200poly section worked on my test. If it doesn't, use the 2 and 3 mid sections
6. OC540ArchTrussBridge
7. OC120ftWYEBridgeSection. You may have to rotate it 180*
8. OCWestViaductSegiment and the OCNorthWestSegiment and OCWestEndPier. Some sections may need to be rotated 180*
9. OCEastViaductSegiment and the OCNorthEastSegiment And OCEastEndPier. Some sections may need to be rotated 180* 

	For the Ohio Crossing Bridge, Lay your track first with the WYE switch exactly where it should be. It will be used as reference to place the entire structure. Assemble the first 7 parts, select, and move into position as one unit. The WYEBridgeSection should be centered on the WYE switch. Now assemble the West and East arms of the bridge and move and rotate each into place. Finish by selecting and making each end pier a Terrain Object.
