Hi
When you add trackbed edges to a template, you get to specify the width of the trackbed in mm, but when you zoom into the trackpad, it's actually a double line, with the outer line being the specified width. Would it be possible to add an option, if it's already not there and I just can't see it, to be able to adjust the inner line?
For the fiddle yard, I'm going to add a vertical side wall (so the baseboard is an L or T section) of 12mm ply so that if any stock derails (as if!), it will hit this side wall, rather than come off the fiddle yard, and head for the floor. I'd like to represent this with the trackbed option. I'd use the inner line to check for clearance with the dummy vehicle, and the outer line to check I can actually get passed it.
I got very funny looks from Mylo yesterday ... one of our outbuildings (sounds posh - really isn't), has double sliding doors, so I was setting these at various positions with the tape measure (and Mylo, like Pepper before him doesn't like a tape measure), and seeing how close I can get them, and squeeze through! For the record I can easily get through sideways on 40cm width, and width ways on 60cm width.
Thanks
