Replacing track objects

Hope someone can help me with this -

I'm updating tracks with the 2011 ads and have just started on Spa. I'm having a problem with a couple of the bridges on the track which are those Vodafone ones with the large circular logo in the middle which juts out above and below the rest of the bridge. Is it possible to replace these 2 bridges with one of the other normal bridges on the track or even from another track and if it is, can someone please give me a gp4builder guide as to how to do it. It's easy enough to delete the problem bridges but how do you copy another bridge into the same spot? - Or can you edit the Vodafone bridges to remove the Vodafone logo?

GP4Builder has it's own guide, not hard to find when the program is started.

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Tried looking trough the guide and couldn't find out how to do what I'd like to do - gp4builder is a great programme but I'm still learning about it slowly as it has so many options. Was just hoping someone had done the same thing and could advise me, it's always easy when you've done it. There are a few things I've found out how to do but wouldn't have known where to start without help.

I can help you out with this.....

select the bridge object in the list...... like screen one......click on duplicate...

then like screen two....select the move icon (looks like plus symbol)........check boxes like in screen two.....left click mouse to move back/foreword/left/right...
right click mouse to move object up/down.......

thanks for your help - managed to get the 2 bridges sorted out, although one of them is popping up as you approach it from a distance - any possible setting to change on that object that could fix that? I've tried making the "distance" number in the attributes box higher but it's not fixing it

That's the type of thing I wanted to change, - those awkward shaped bridges make it tricky when the 2011 ads are normal shaped bridges. You do need to do the same thing as jimbob1 helped me with. It takes a while to move the duplicate bridge to the correct position using the mouse - next to the problem bridge, then you delete the original one

I think your speaking of the objects popping in out of sight etc....change the value to 0 to be visible al the time or form certain distances i.e 200 / 500 etc...
check screenie ...in the objects attributes box....check the clipping distance box on the bottom.......enter values there.......
