For the above example:

	The  kuid  is unique to every asset so it is  not a good idea to choose your own . This will be automatically generated by the Content Manager program when a new asset is created
	The  kind  identifies the type of asset and the types of files that Trainz will expect to find in the asset. It also tells Trainz how to render and error check the asset. For Region assets, the category class is  region . A list of asset kinds can be found at KIND Hierarchy
	The  username  is your name for the asset and the name that other users will see. It is also the name that will appear in the Route Editor when the region is being selected. It is a good idea to make it short and meaningful
	The  category-class  identifies the intent of the asset and is important in classifying it for filtering and searching. For Region assets, the category class is  YX . A list of category classes can be found at Category-class
	The  category-era  identifies the decade or decades in which the region is based (e.g. "1950s"). See the section Category Era Tag below for more details.
	The  category-region  identifies the country or countries in which layout is based. See the section Category Region Tag below for more details.
	The  ontheright  identifies which side of the road is used by road traffic. See the section On the Right Tag below for more details.
	The  water-color  identifies the the colour used by Legacy water surfaces in this region. This setting has no effect on the 'Water Effect Layers. See the section Water Color Tag below for more details.
	The  defaultjunction  identifies the junction lever or switch that will be used as its default lever asset whenever a lever is added to a track junction in this region. See the section Default Junction Tag below for more details.
	The  default-texture  identifies the ground texture that will be applied to every new baseboard that is added to a Route. See the section Default Texture Tag below for more details.
	The  trainz-build  identifies the minimum Trainz version needed for this asset. A list of asset trainz-build numbers and their corresponding Trainz versions can be found at "Trainz-build"_number
	The  longitude  identifies the geographic longitude of a point in the region. See the section Longitude Tag below for more details.
	The  latitude  identifies the geographic latitude of a point in the region. See the section Latitude Tag below for more details.
	The  altitude  identifies the altitude or base height of the starting baseboard in the route. See the section Altitude Tag below for more details.
	The  car0  identifies the first moving car that will appear on roads in the region. Upto 15 different cars can be specified. See the section Car Tags below for more details.
	The  thumbnails  container holds the preview images of the asset shown by the Content Manager program, the Web version of the DLS and, for some assets, the Surveyor main menu image(s). See the section Thumbnails below for more details. Complete information on thumbnails can be found at Thumbnails The label  Default  is the container ID or placeholder for the thumbnail used by CM and the Web based DLS. While its exact label (or number - eg. "Default", "00", "01", etc) is not important, it must be different from any other labels that might be present in the thumbnail. Default and 0 are commonly used placeholder labels for the 240 x 180 thumbnail image The image is the name of the thumbnail image. It does not have to be called thumbnail.jpg but it must be a  JPG  format image The width of the image in pixels must be  240  The height of the image in pixels must be  180
	The  description  provides more details for users than the username
	The  kuid-table  contains the kuid values of the defaultjunction asset and all the carN assets. See the section Kuid Table Tag below for more details.

[edit] Altitude Tag

• when a new route is created - the route base height will be set to the altitude shown in the selected region so the first baseboard will have its height set to that altitude instead of the usual starting height of 0 metres
• when an existing route is edited by assigning it a new region - the route will have its base height set to the altitude shown in the new region and all existing heights (terrain, splines, objects) will be set relative to that value

The tag data contains a single integer that represents the altitude in metres. All terrain and object heights will be set relative to that altitude. For example: if the first baseboard of a route is manually raised to a height of 20 metres using the Terrain Height Tool and the route is then assigned to a region with the altitude set to 100 metres, then the first baseboard will have a height above sea level of 20 + 100 = 120 metres.

altitude                                    0

altitude                                    100

[edit] Kuid Table Tag

kuid-table
{
  0                                     <kuid:61119:24120>
  1                                     <kuid:-25:1180>
  2                                     <kuid:329364:1568>
  3                                     <kuid:309161:100599>
  4                                     <kuid2:329364:1689:1>
  5                                     <kuid2:329364:1707:1>
}

In this example, the first kuid value is for the defaultjunction, the second is for the default-texture and the remaining kuid values are for the four road vehicles, but the order of the entries is not important.
