... confess I have just about given up with it- constant nag pop-ups, strangulation of internet access and dozens of false positives- including in code I have written myself! I suppose, something MIGHT have slipped into Templot, but I know where I am betting! Best wishes, Howard Last edited on 7 Oct 2015 12:46 by JFS posted: 7 Oct 2015 13:42 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, I have just now downloaded the file, and it is identical to the one I uploaded a few hours ago. I have also scanned it and found nothing wrong. Surely Avast gives you an option to bypass or ignore its objections? If not I would change to an anti-virus program which does. The download is much larger than previously because I have included 3 different embedded versions of the Templot Companion for testing. You can find them at help> experimental Companion formats> menu item. Note that there is as yet no more actual content than on the web site, it is the format I'm testing, ...
... printed colour for all the timbers can be set in the output menu: 2_191449_050000000.png At present there is no option to mark individual timbers in a different colour. I suspect that you are not so much asking for a different colour, but for some means to mark individual timbers differently from the others. There has never been any demand for that in UK modelling, although modellers do often scribble notes on the templates. I believe in many other countries a popular construction method is to use soldered copper-clad laminate for just a few of the timbers, with plastic or wood for the remainder. (That wouldn't look good in the UK, at least for bullhead track, because chaired bullhead requires a different timber thickness from soldered construction). There are several clunky ways which you might achieve the desired result in Templot, but none very straightforward or helpful. For example you could duplicate a template, set a marker colour on the lower one, and then omit some timbers on the upper template in the shove timber functions so that the coloured ones from ...
524. Beginners queries
... queries posted: 21 Feb 2020 01:27 from: Mike Kynaston Hello all,Thanks to Martin for allowing me to join. A good friend of mine is currently working on a new 2mm Finescale layout, and while he's dabbled with Templot for a while now, I am fairly new. He has shown me the basics and how he does things but when it came to doing the proper plans for building his track I found myself saying of I'll do that so I can learn more about Templot! That has brought a few questions, and while I am not expecting a step-by-step hand holding, and pointers as to where to look for the answers would be appreciated. I've had a good wander though this forum in recent days, but these are still outstanding. 1) when drawing double track curves and using the 'make double track' option is there any way to make sure the spacing between tracks is right and coaches won't hit each other? My friend though there was some tool in the past but we cannot find anything ...
525. Transition links
... conditions are met. These conditions are not arbitrary limitations imposed by Templot, they result from the mathematics of a clothoid curve (Euler's Spiral): 1. the templates must not be concentric (parallel). So for example it is not possible to create a transition between the inner and outer tracks in curved double track. Use a slew for that instead, or a simple link. 2. in a C-curve transition there must be a significant difference in radius between the two templates. Significant means more than a few mm. Otherwise you will get at best a wiggly transition curve, or at worst the infamous "matchsticks and broken glass" effect across the entire screen. (For S-curve transitions the radii can be equal.) This also means that it is not possible to create a transition curve between two straight templates. Only one of them can be straight. Insert a third curved template between them, and make two transition links to/from it. 3. most important, the two curves must not intersect ( ...
526. A junction
... mis-tracking. At that angle most folks would go for a switch diamond. Are you planning to have the junction pointwork 3-D printed? Cheers, Andy Martin. Hi Martin, Sorry for my slow reply. I've been chasing trains. Visited our daughter in California then the Durango& Silverton in Colorado. I have pics, including some details of a turnout. Where might there be a good place to park them? After that I intercepted UP's restored Big Boy as it returned to Cheyenne. I've made a few changes and will post an update in a bit. As I already have a lot of SMP track the turnouts will be printed to 00-SF. Originally I was going to make the layout multi-level but decided against it. In the best Hornby-Dublo tradition it will basically a double track circuit with reversing loop capability. The double-junction feeds to terminus on the inside of the double track circuit. The tight radii bits at the ends will be "off-stage". I might add some ...
... I wanted to keep): check: doh! Saved/Stored to Box File: check But it doesn't look quite right. The original plan- on a curve- had some slightly 'curvy linear' sidings which I couldn't see how to replicate. I found ways to add track but it doesn't flow as I hoped. I also tried using curviform V crossings- but this didn't seem to help. Really I'm quite pleased with the outcome as my first try but I would be delighted if somebody more experienced might have a few minutes to cast an eye over the outcome please? I've also attached my scan which is obviously copyrighted to OS- I doubt they'll mind too much as it's for educational purposes and a very old map. For the record- this is Hellesdon Station on the M&GN line from Norwich City Station to Melton Constable. I could see trains on this line when I was very small if I stood in our kitchen sink. Thanks in advance Richard Attachment: attach_2331_2933_Hellesdon.bgs 248 posted: 12 Oct 2016 12:12 from: ...
... across from the Dutch equivalent of the UK OS Maps, the larger the scale the better for getting things right. If you look at my other thread running on here Martin has copied a map from the NLS (National Library of Scotland) to a .bgs file that can then be copied to Templot and set to whatever scale and gauge you want. I've just been tinkering with the above plan over the last day or so and have got the basics laid out, it's a case of a bit of timber shoving and a few re-alignments. I'll post a box file of it on here later to show you the rough copy. Most of it has been done using the "make mirror on peg" function, "adjust to length", "curve" and "size" for turnouts. In my case the original Frank Dyer plan(drawn in about 1978) would not transfer directly to templot as Frank used "train set" geometry for the pointwork and some would end up very short radius points. I think when I built ...
529. scam emails
... topic: 3320 scam emails posted: 21 Aug 2018 14:42 from: Martin Wynne Hmm. Interesting. For the last few weeks I have been fending off dozens of scam/phishing emails every day. But this morning I was pleasantly surprised to find that there had been none overnight. And so far today none. Then I noticed this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45257081 May be a coincidence, or maybe not? I know I could use spam filtering, but I have always found the filters unreliable, and likely to find too many false positives. I prefer to do my own filtering, but it can get tedious. Martin. posted: 21 Aug 2018 16:16 from: Nigel Brown Don't seem to get scam emails these days. I have AVG, and maybe that's blocking them. Nuisance telephone calls are a different matter.

530. On screen reminders
... the next program update (coming soon). The reminder boxes are in a fixed column on the right of the screen, with a moving line linking them to the relevant template, similar to call-outs. Currently you can have up to 5 reminders, and change the colour of each. Maximum of 200 characters each. regards, Martin. posted: 17 Nov 2017 03:10 from: Martin Wynne Thanks for the suggestions about on-screen reminders. This function will be in the next program update. A few notes: This is not intended to replace the existing memo notes function for each template. Every stored template can have a permanent set of detailed memo notes about such things as prototype details, intended construction methods, etc. Such notes are accessed from the storage box. This function has been in Templot from the very beginning, although I suspect it is seldom used. But in addition, any background template can now have a reminder message. This is intended to be a temporary reminder about design work in progress in Templot ...
... get Templot to export the files needed for direct 3D printing of track. 2_061704_070000000.png Unfortunately I don't get much time to work on it, my computer time being mostly taken up in supporting the current Templot functions for users. For example I recently spent several days on a re-write of the make diamond-crossing at intersection function. So don't hold your breath for chairing in the DXF any time soon. You might like to look at Andy B's work on adding chairing to Templot's DXF files: topic 2734 (The first few pages are from 2016 and a bit out-of-date) cheers, Martin. posted: 26 Jun 2020 00:04 from: PHP Thanks Martin. I can add chair blocks and orient them with a macro in my CAD program. Had the chair positions been already placed, it would have made my processes slightly easier. The sleeper centre line over length stays the same when I made the changers in the generator as you suggested. The sleepers are now square, but thats not my objective. I was ...

... topic: 3280 Diamond crossing using Pandrol Clips posted: 5 Jun 2018 09:21 from: Hayfield I have been asked to build a diamond crossing in flatbottom rail with Pandrol clips It will use the Peco Pandrol clips (the person knows they are overscale) and that the crossing will be an impression or rather than a copy of. Brian Kirby has made a very good attempt on RMweb for a curved turnout I have a few photos of a modern turnout, but none of a crossing, I have looked on Google and even Pandrol's own site without any luck. The areas most of interest are the common crossing, K crossing and check rails As I said it will be an impression of rather than a copy of using the limited plastic parts available, I know Colin has some wonderful etches, but not going down that route Thanks in advance posted: 5 Jun 2018 11:35 from: Martin Wynne Hi John, The V-crossings in a diamond are exactly the same as in a turnout, so you are only looking for pictures ...
... slip switch- but if you say it's fine, I'm not altering it! I've slid the switch along using 5, and am not quite sure where the tips are. Hopefully I attach a screenshot. The tie bar is indicated, and there is a white line where I think the tips are- is that right, the white line indicates the tips? I think I did use the make diamond crossing at intersection- I remember it being a lot easier than following the tutorial making a ladder crossover. It was a few days ago. I have a question on making this formation but will do it as a separate topic.

... all the functions which make changes to the control template to the bottom row: 2_031244_010000000.png The ROTATE button has been reinstated for those mourning its loss in version 215. Plus T|P for insert turnout/convert to plain track, and the ORBIT mouse action. This is more beginner-friendly than snake, because like roam it ignores the peg position. I retained the STOP button for the legacy videos, even though it is now duplicated on the mouse action panel. That left some space on the top row for a few quick-access buttons to the tools> make... functions. I have chosen the four most frequently used. Obviously the full menu is still there for more. Plus I have added a more prominent reminder of the current track gauge, for times when the info panel is hidden. I'm still in two minds about that. This will be in the next program update. Unless I change my mind and it isn't. Comments welcome. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Nov 2017 18:20 from: ...
