Complete Circuits

Use Bridge nodes to connect track ends and create closed loop coasters.

Bridge Node Example Bridge node connecting the end of a track back to the starting station

Bridge Node Purpose

Bridge nodes connect two anchor points with a smooth spline, typically used to close circuits by linking the track end back to the station.

Path Type: Simple Catmull-Rom spline between the two connection points.

Creating a Complete Circuit

Close your track loop by bridging the final section back to the start.

Setup

  1. Build Your Track - Create sections that end near the starting position
  2. Copy Start Anchor - Copy and paste the anchor node from the beginning
  3. Position Anchors - Place the copied anchor near your track’s end point

Connect with Bridge

  1. Add Bridge Node - Right-click → Bridge
  2. Connect Track End - Drag from final section output to Bridge’s first input
  3. Connect Start Point - Drag from copied anchor output to Bridge’s second input

Result

The Bridge automatically creates a smooth connection between the two points, completing your circuit.

Bridge Connections

Input Connection Purpose
Source Anchor Track end output Where the bridge begins
Destination Anchor Start point anchor Where the bridge connects

Usage Notes

  • Positioning: Place anchors close together for smoother connections
  • Simple Path: Bridge uses basic spline - complex connections may need manual sections
  • Circuit Completion: Enables continuous operation for full coaster circuits
