... topic: 3018 1st and 2nd radius on curvature posted: 24 Apr 2017 19:02 from: Panos Tsirigotis Hello againSeems to me difficult to define the topology of the 1st and 2nd radius on a curve which is made by an easyment function. Is there any tutorial explain this curvature definition? Thank you in advance posted: 24 Apr 2017 22:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Panos, The transition curve terminology for Templot is explained on this page: http://templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm#transition It's an old page, but still mostly valid. The 4 basic settings are: first (1st) initial radius second (2nd) final radius length of the 1st radius section length of the transition zone section There are mouse actions to adjust each of these. trans_marks.gif What are you having trouble doing? regards, Martin. posted: 25 Apr 2017 19:22 from: Panos Tsirigotis thank you very much. I wouldn 't say trouble. Its that when I am trying to make a transition curve, templot asks me where ...
... a Templot template for you to match the Exactoscale template. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Apr 2017 12:54 from: Hayfield Martin Sorry for leaving it out, but its an A5 I think when we had a chat re the confusion of Timbertracks being EM/P4 gauges, the conclusion was the differences with the turnouts could be smoothed out between the Vee and the switch rail tips where as the fret for the diamond had to be set accurately for either EM or P4 gauges posted: 18 Apr 2017 13:08 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks I have tried altering the plan as per the suggestions, the timber spacing is a bit nearer, but the longest timber (heal end) is still missing and the same timbers at the toe end are still too short As I said I will try and put one together (the P4 company kits will suffer the same issue) in EM to see how it works posted: 18 Apr 2017 13:29 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote: I think when we had a chat re the ...

Before I temporarily uninstall Avast to allow the upload can I be certain that the new version hasn't acquired any unpleasant add-ons? Regards David posted: 7 Oct 2015 10:04 from: Raymond I use Bitdefender and the the new Templot installed without any problems at all and runs perfectly. Some setting in Avast perhaps?

... topic: 2972 214a changes- page ident "watermark" posted: 26 Jan 2017 19:08 from: Martin Wynne There have been some suggestions that the page numbers in the corner of each printed page (after trimming to the red lines) are too small to be seen properly. The text size for those numbers can be increased at output> trim margins> font for corner page numbers and info... menu item, but that risks obscuring some template details. So for 214a I have added a large page identifier "watermark" across the middle of each page. You should be able to see "a /2" in pale grey behind these templates: 2_221208_550000000.png This "watermark" will appear only if there are more than 3 pages showing on the page preview screen. If not wanted, it can be turned off by unticking the page ident tickbox on the pages dialog: 2_261355_520000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 28 Jan 2017 19:02 from: Phil O Good one Martin, it will make sorting out multiple pages ...
... . The paper quality: it seems to be identical to that used for producing architectural plans, of the sort that accompany planning applications- so definitely much heavier than 80gsm but I don't know just what weight. I had taken a pocket ruler with me to measure the "test" sheet and it was spot-on, as were the long prints when I collected those this morning. Finally I now have no excuse for actually making a start on the "pipedream" layout. Regards, Stuart posted: 23 Feb 2017 08:53 from: Jubilee42 I have semi-inherited from work an enormous printer, which can print 91cm wide from rolls of 40m. I haven't tried it yet, but it comes with its own computer running xp, and as such will not be connected to the internet. I have noticed that Templot makes some sort of internet connection when it starts. My question is whether it will start without an internet connection, and if not, can I do something to enable it to do so? posted: 23 Feb ...
... a red cirlce in the attached screenshot which I cannot bridge. It is a crossover from straight to curved track. My problem is that I want to insert a curved turnout with it's curvature oriented at the track's curve (If you know what I mean). It seems that the inserted turnout in the curved track has an opposite curvature. (Or there is an optical illusion?) .Is there any other shortcut to make this crossover? thank you in advance Attachment: attach_2416_3013_Crossover_2.jpg 308 posted: 16 Apr 2017 12:08 from: Tony W Hi Panos. I would try to link the two ends with a piece of plain track and get the alignment right first and then insert a turnout into it, after which you can play around with the handedness and curvature of the diverging road by altering the turnout type. Regards Tony. posted: 16 Apr 2017 12:20 from: DerekStuart I agree with Tony. I think you will need to end up with the turnout further down the 'bottom right' of the screen and a far more ...
347. Radial lines?
... quicker way might be to shove a dummy timber on the track template: 1. add a bonus timber. 2. move it along by mouse action to where you want it. 3. keep clicking the narrow button until it is a thin line. 4. use the length and throw mouse actions to extend it to your requirements. But don't change the template afterwards, this line will be part of the template. It will of course print in the timber colours. Martin. posted: 12 Apr 2017 16:08 from: Richard_Jones Hi Martin Many thanks.... The dummy track method works a treat- as "Singleton" is laid out on a ruling 15' radius, I wanted to make the baseboards as "segments", but also avoiding any points, which does rather restrict where I can split the boards, making them all different sizes! (but nothing too unwieldy!) Hoping there might be some sawdust over the Easter holidays.... best wishes Richard posted: 14 Apr 2017 22:17 ...
... intuitive. See: http://templot.com/martweb/gs_mouse_notes.htm From which: "Sometimes the mouse action panel will obstruct your view of the drawing. You can drag it and re-size it in the usual way, or you can hide it without cancelling the mouse action by clicking the upper line of text, or by pressing the DELETE key on the keyboard. Pressing DELETE again will show it again." That text has been there for over 17 years.

The best layouts seem to be those where the standards are maintained across all disciplines, so they each compliment each other. posted: 8 Apr 2017 18:55 from: Tony W Even with all the choice available in the 4 mm gauges and we are relatively speaking spoilt for choice, there will always be something that is not available, for instance, whilst 3 bolt LSWR chairs are available slide chairs to match are not.

350. tandem turnouts
... and fair in a standard-size crossing to fit at the construction stage. Traditionally P.W. designers have been divided on this, especially in the design of double-junctions. Nowadays a standard size is used and the radius is adjusted in each leg of the closure rail to get a fit. That changes the lead length of the underlying turnouts a fraction, which may not be convenient if they are already aligned to surrounding tracks, such as being part of a crossover. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Dec 2015 08:59 from: PeterD John Palmer wrote: Here's my attempt. Once I have the 'middle' crossing located on the FP, my usual approach is to size it with F9 until I arrive at a value ending in .0 or .5- this reflects the fact that the formation would have been assembled from available, standard components. 1: 5 and 1: 5.5 values seem common. Next, I often find it necessary to apply some rotation to the crossing with F8 and some curvature with F6. Finally some adjustment ...
... topic: 2774 Importing scanned background images posted: 4 Nov 2015 08:24 from: Hayfield I have just spent an hour or so re-sizing 4 scans into images, sorry about being one of the thicker users on the site, but I must be missing something My latest effort for a friend was to scan 4 A4 pages which I made the equivalent of a brass rubbing, he has a junction on his layout and wants to build a much smoother formation than his Peco turnouts allow Anyway I scanned each sheet (after putting a 6" scale on each sheet) and then started to add them to a plan, I used scanned model track plan, which was fine. But the scans load to about 60% of the size. Its not too much of a problem re-scaling them, but what am I doing wrong please By the way, he is coming round this afternoon (for some track building tuition) and I have been able to redesign the formation for him, though he may want it altered still posted ...
352. Rail rolling problem
... whatever, and one of them is a very short fill-in, the joints don't roll across the short length properly. What seems to happen is that if the rolled-in length is longer than the template, ie the template is too short to contain any rail-joints, it is ignored; consequently the next template along has no information about how much to "roll-in" so it starts again, leaving you with an odd length in the middle. Regards Chris posted: 9 Jul 2008 03:08 from: Martin Wynne Hi Chris, Many thanks for reporting this bug. Sorry about that. I will get it fixed. For a workaround in the meantime you can manually roll the rails (CTRL+ F4 mouse action) on the current/control template until the N sleeper numbering forms a correct number sequence across the boundary. To do this you will need the timber numbering turned on: For the current/control template: pad> pad options for the control template> show timber numbers menu item. For background ...

... Personally, I would not be keen on cutting the rail- such things introduce a weakness which I find can then present issues. I do see a lot of track where the wing rail and closure rails have been made separately and where the alignment is obviously poor at the resulting joint- and it is a bad fault because it throws the wheels just on the approach to the crossing leading to very poor running. See you (and Martin?) at Scaleforum! Best wishes, Howard posted: 5 Sep 2017 16:08 from: Tony W Hi Andrew. The standard advice for many years has been to produce a sharp bend, which as this thread and others have explained is just plain wrong. I discovered this the hard way. I use a similar technique to Howard to produce an approximate bend but using a small vice. I mark the top of the rail with a wide felt tip pen, which I try to centre on the bend. I then put the rail in the vice with one edge of the mark lined up with ...
... topic: 3004 // Greetings from Greece// posted: 4 Apr 2017 18:08 from: Panos Tsirigotis Hello I am a new member in templot club and want to introduce myself. I am Panos from Greece and I am an N scale railway modeller. I am currently modelling a prototype railway station in Greece and I op to handlay track. Although prototype track plans does not include curved turnouts (it was once the greek railway practise to use straight turnouts in yards and stations due to low contruction cost, and straight turnouts were pre assempled and set in place just like the RTR turnouts), I definately want the software's assistance on custom diamond crossings and easyments in curves. I attach a drawing of my track plan that is based on the prototype. I draw this track plan using Adobe illustrator I have a lot of queries regarding drawing in Templot. Truth is that begun to draw the plan but get stuck during the process. Hope that through the assistance of club members I complete my plan and start lay down trackwork. P.S ...
... curved, a bit of modellers licence will be required or perhaps go outside? Initially may be a good piece to demonstrate track building, and best of all I have all the parts in stock One thought is to change the slip into a switched diamond as the crossings are 1-6.
