... if you withdrew Templot if you decided to retire. As long as the forum remained intact and we were still able to access Templot, I'm sure that we could help each other and "Newbies" out, we may not necessarily use the methods that you do, but as long as we can eventually produce our required templates, that is all that is required. Obviously there would probably need some form of small subscription to maintain the web presence and server space in your absence. Phil posted: 1 May 2017 13:07 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the kind words. There is no question of withdrawing the Templot program, and I would very likely go on developing it.

This is a much better option than changing to an A5 turnout. I made a bit of Jing video to explain it.

... topic: 3008 Make a diamond crossing posted: 11 Apr 2017 09:55 from: Panos Tsirigotis HelloAs you can see at the attached image I have 2 tracks (with no timbers as they are on a paved area) that cross& overlap one another. What I want to do is to make a diamond crossing by these two tracks. Is there any function that merges the tracks to form the junction? Thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2404_3008_Crossing.jpg 361 posted: 11 Apr 2017 11:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, Have one template as the control template and the other as the background template. Click on the background template to get its menu on the left. On that menu click peg/align tools> make diamond-crossing at intersection menu item. However, that works only where the resulting diamond-crossing is flatter than 1:1.5 angle. Looking at your screenshot, it seems that you may be looking for a much shorter crossing than that. In which case you would need to create it manually using multiple ...
... you have the inclination) to show the total lengths of plain track and turnout timbering as two figures rather than rolling them into one. This would help me( and others?) in checking that sufficient materials are to hand before building comences. I realise that some scale/gauge layouts may have odd timber widths or combinations but I suspect the vast majority of plans drawn using Templot have either one width throughout or a standard plain track width/S &C width mix. Thanks Rob posted: 19 Apr 2018 23:07 from: Martin Wynne Rob Manchester wrote: The Storage box facility to add up the total length of timbering on all or some background templates is very useful. You can group some templates( say the ones containing only plain track) to sum the sleeper lengths but templates that have S&C work inserted are mixed between two widths- such as 3.3mm/10" and 4mm/12" on an EM or P4 plan.

... and 'rebuild group' and neither made any difference, so I had to open the saved plan and go through all the group selection process again. I don't save any groups as I'm continually selecting different parts and it's unlikely I will ever need to go back again to a group. It's not the end of the world, just takes me 5-10 mins to set it up again, but knowing you, I'm sure there's a reinstate group after wipe somewhere....

... topic: 2881 Export .dxf with rail foot posted: 24 May 2016 07:41 from: PaulTownsend I am using the export to .DXF function and want output to include the rail foot that can be drawn for flat bottom rail. I have been using this with the rail foot defined as 5mm wide which gives a good simulation of 4mm scale Broad Gauge baulks. I now want to laser cut the baulks so need to be able to create a cutting file from CAD that just shows baulks i.e "rail-foot". The print to paper function works fine, showing rail head as usual and optional rail foot too. I had assumed the .dxf output would include rail-foot. AFAICS it doesn't. I am a bit pushed for time to get a lot of baulks cut and BG track laid for an upcoming exhibition. Can I ask a pretty please to Martin to enable the rail-foot to .dxf in such a way that it appears in CAD as a separate layer? posted: 24 May 2016 08:19 from: Martin ...

... 'frog' device can work, but the drawing does not really resemble the photograph. Well, it seems that the 'frog' in the photograph can only be operated by wheel-flanges that are being diverted from the main (straight) track. How does a wheel-set that is leaving the siding, operate the spring-crossing( 'frog')? There appears to be nothing for the wheel-flange to push against. Grateful advice, as we used to say. posted: 9 Dec 2016 13:07 from: JFS In what way does the drawing differ from the photo? Perhaps you have not grasped that it is not crossing nose which moves but the wing rail? Hence a wheel, which ever direction it is travelling, would simply push the wing rail aside. The crossing stays put and (as the text says) te flange is guided by the check rail. (The small green reptile you mentioned need not be involved.) These things were so common that I am surprised they have raised such interest. ...
