I started a new ctr and like the track you suggested and I see a difference. I am giving you a screenshot of the lifthill. I know Ineed to add more, but wanted to make sure I was headed in the right direction. I had to

Okay, I can see I didn't teach you enough about what types of supports should go on which type of track. Right now you're using an arrow track, which means you should use SafariJ's Corkscrew supports. If you have a B&M track (like on Leviathan and Banshee), you do it the way that is in the lift hill tutorial.

Also, you don't need to put supports where the station goes. They won't be seen in the final product.

^ i like how you're trying to help! but I think it would be easier to PM each other back and forth since it's you two (i assume) making/helping to make a coaster... just my thoughts

The threads are getting long so lets continue by messaging each other. It may take me awhile, but I will get there. I won't give up. I just thought it would be beneficial for others to have the information as well. It was not necessarily between the two of us. But to be respectful lets continue as they requested by pm each other.

Thank you. I understand both of your comments. I just thought the information might be useful for others which is why I changed the name of the post. I did leave a reply for Blu regarding the messaging back and forth. The last post was getting long. That is why I started another one. Can you attach screenshots while pm?

I wasn't sure how to upload a file in the pm. So I'm attaching it to this forum page. Can anyone tell me how please. Thanks.

i would say there are too many supports, remove every other support (the 3rd, 5th, and 7th). on the lift hill, i do one support every 2 and half squares, sometimes every 3 squares.

Okay, I'll go ahead and make the changes. At least I know I'm in the right direction.

Look at this Tutorial from Silvarret, he shows perfectly how the support work goes in realtime easy steps!

Don't use the same supports on the complete lifthill! Start with the 4-slope and build 8 or 12 slopes at the end to have a smoother support looking on the lifthill. Additional to this, B&M's havn't cross beams on there lifthill supports, the use diaonal ones.

Moose93 is right, its oversupportet, try to build every 3 square an support.

BtW, dont forget that the B&M-Connector-CSO-Set isn't complete, so sometimes you must over/under support some parts of your coaster. Because there are some connectors arn't there jet and you must try it out, which kind of connector you could use on some points.

Thanks Cheleste...something didn't look right. I appreciate everyone's feedback. I'm hoping this thread will help someone else as well who is new to using replacement supports. I have watched a few videos on youtube. I had a feeling I had to many supports. I'll take a look at the video link you gave me. Back to the drawing board again. I'll get there.
I haven't heard from you for a while Lg Cheleste thanks all for the help
I should note the stations aren't mine they are Blu's.
