Low poly cars in template activities Options

[billmoyer]

Is there a way to keep AG4 from placing low poly "yard strings" in active consists ? On more than one occasions I've ended up with yard string cars in active
consists on MONON17.

Hi Bill,

Have checked the SWLACT file that determines the cars to be used in the templates and found no yard strings among them.

Can you give some details which led to the message you are getting?

Using activity master or another third party software which swaps rolling stock?

Thanks

Adding to Denis' post, if using Activity Master to change out stock, take all of your low poly strings and rename them to a group all their own. For instance, I have named all of the low poly cars to 'Car-Strings' in Activity Master. This way they never will be in the mix for coal cars, boxcars etc. I know that Activity Master will automatically assign them to another category based on the string name, when first loaded.
