Edit spline points in Perspective view.
Build gates, flags and other objects in Perspective view.

Tips to make course customizing easy:

1. Move along the Spline
Make a new gate to follow the spline course path by clicking "Move along the Spline" button just before selecting the gate to place.
Use Q or E to move along the spline.

2. Sanp shot
Make an object stick or 'snap' to the floor by using 'Snap shot' (spacebar)

3. Ctrl + Number(1,2,3,...0)
For bigger courses, save the current position of the camera by pressing CTRL+Number(1,2,3,...0). Go back to the saved positions by pressing the numbers used.

4.Wall Gates
Wall Gates can stick to almost anything, to allow easier placement of gates in areas with low ceilings (e.g. in factory or parking lot).
