... topic: 3474 How to join/align 2 templates? posted: 3 Aug 2019 02:19 from: drrsenior I am sure this is very basic but I have been unable to find the answer.I am designing a shed layout and have been making decent progress. Have battled through divergent turnouts with adequate success. Where I am struggling is linking adjacent tracks with a turnout as a simple operation. Attached is a file showing a simple example of what I mean. (Deliberately so there is no easy drop in curve) I have say 2 shed roads which are fixed, lengthen one of the roads and insert a turnout. What is the best way to now link the other road to the turnout? To date I have had to put plain track on either end of the gap and then fiddle around with length and radius until they meet neatly: I presume there is a better way?

203. Printing problem
... topic: 494 Printing problem posted: 17 Jul 2008 02:18 from: dickc Hi All, I've got a small problem which I hope someone can help me with. When I print out a template using either F11 or via the toolbar, not only do I get the template but also an extra full page with all the associated data (template generated at... scale.. track gauge... etc etc) printed on it. As I don't need this data, how do I stop it being printed please? It seems to be a recent phenomenon as I didn't have this problem when I first "bought" Templot. I am using .91c but get the same problem when trying it with earlier versions. Many thanks, Dick posted: 17 Jul 2008 02:36 from: Jim Guthrie dickc wrote: Hi All, I've got a small problem which I hope someone can help me with.

... topic: 1988 Hiding the control template when storing posted: 18 Jun 2012 02:44 from: Martin Wynne I've felt for some time that it's confusing for beginners that the control template is hidden on doing a store& background (INSERT key). The effect is that the template has simply changed colour, rather than been stored. We can't not hide the control template on store, otherwise it's not apparent to beginners that anything has happened at all. I've now made a change which I've been intending to try for some time. The control template will remain hidden only briefly, and will then reappear over the background template. You can of course hide it again if you wish (HOME key). For more experienced users there is a new option not to have the control template hidden. It's on the options menu on the storage box. Untick this menu option: 2_172050_560000000.png This setting is included in the program preferences. Note that even with this option unticked, on a large track plan the control template will disappear momentarily while Templot re ...

I'd rather you survived to provide future development and support when it's needed!

208. Curved crossover

In the meantime, this video is a good beginner's guide to the basic Templot methods and includes making a curved crossover: overlaid tracks on a rough sketch Also the static "track plan" tutorial shows a curved crossover being made, starting at screen 7 to screen 14. regards, Martin. posted: 7 Jul 2008 02:43 from: Alan Dale Hi Martin I have spent the weekend trying to absorb the tutorials and have now created and printed on A3 the crossover by creating a rh point and then following templot help info crossover with curved crossings and track centre line spacing at 80mm.

... rad_at_peg.png You can find the radius at any position along the transition by moving the peg along it (CTRL+ F8 mouse action). A convenient reference to the printed template would be to record the radius at each rail joint, which you can do by jumping the peg along the joints using CTRL+ END keys. Here's a short scruff video showing how to do that, and record the results on the jotter: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/rad_at_peg.exe regards, Martin. posted: 10 Nov 2007 02:41 from: renluethi Hi Bruce, Thank you for this link.

... /P4 which others have raised. For this plan I reckon P4 is clearly out, even EM is being pushed to the limits. Now I reckon EM is probably fine as something which gives you a reasonably scale look but with more generous tolerances than P4, but on a plan of this nature I'm not sure that the scale look will actually come across, in fact a narrower gauge may look better on the sharper curves. I'd suggest 00-SF may be the best solution. cheers Nigel posted: 31 Jul 2008 02:18 from: Jim Guthrie Nigel Brown wrote: Not sure I'd agree with this.

... personally have no problem with any imported map being positioned initially at the 0,0 datum, from which I can then move it wherever I wish. Once all the required map images are imported they can be cropped and combined within arbitrarily specified rectangles as required. Very useful to reduce the number of .sk8 files for an upload. Hope these comments may be of some help – a big tip o' the hat to Martin for this marvellous extension of the mapping functionality in Templot.

The extent of the timber skewing is such that I think it would be difficult to secure the special chairs for the crossing in 12": 1' scale. A partial solution might be to adjust that turnout's timbering with 'Real'> 'Timbering'> 'Equalised'. choosing either incremental or constant according to what best suits the formation. This may also make it easier to interlace sleepers ...
