... you see what people are doing with your software Thanks also for the suggestion of upping a few of the turnout sizes, I will look into that with the background scan in place. Now, one last question if I may.... In the V4 box above the siding coming into the tipple area is opposite to the siding in V3. Can anyone tell me how I get the exact templates out of V4 and put them into exactly the same place in V3? Thanks again Cheers Bruce posted: 26 Feb 2011 02:02 from: Martin Wynne BruceNordstrand wrote: Can anyone tell me how I get the exact templates out of V4 and put them into exactly the same place in V3? Hi Bruce, There are three methods: A. Use the parking bay. Recommended. Can be used for up to 3 templates. B. Use the rollback function. For one template only*. C. Save the template(s) to a file. Then add that file to the other track plan, or to any other track ...

... , I mean the main road versus the straight road. Her's a shot of the overall section that I am working with. I would prefer not to mess too much with the flow of the track, having a non toy train look is very important to me, however if that means I am own my own (total handlay without a template) then so be it, I was just hoping Templot could help with easements/transitions so I don't stuff things up by freehanding it 632_222046_320000000.png Cheers Bruce posted: 23 Feb 2011 02:02 from: Martin Wynne Thanks Bruce.

... on MXP then stick the notch on it, then Store& Background. For the LH turnout, stick the peg on IGTP then do a Move Peg onto Notch. For even greater overlap, use MCP instead of MXP.

... topic: 1486 irregular diamond-crossings posted: 17 May 2011 02:06 from: Martin Wynne This topic is about creating irregular diamond-crossings in TDV. Irregular diamond-crossings are those where the radii in the two roads differ in size or direction. This causes the K-crossing and V-crossing angles also to differ. The most common use for an irregular diamond-crossing is in a double junction. Last edited on 18 May 2011 16:17 by Martin Wynne posted: 18 May 2011 16:56 from: Martin Wynne There are 3 ways to create an irregular diamond-crossing: 1. Start with a regular half-diamond template. Change the K-crossing angle using F10 mouse action and/or change the V-crossing angle using F9 mouse action. In most cases change also to a curviform type of V-crossing -- real> V-crossing options> curviform V-crossing menu item. (For this method this setting is optional.)

... topic: 3551 First Faltering Steps (Asok Yard) posted: 12 Nov 2019 02:08 from: Graeme A week ago I set myself the task of at least making a start at acquiring a working knowledge of Templot. In the interim I have probably spent in total about 3 days solid on it. Selecting topics randomly, I read much of the Templot Companion, then worked my way through the index from start to finish to make sure I had not missed anything, read the posts linked to from the Companion, worked through the user-contributed tutorials, watched the videos, re-read most of it all a second (and third and...) time, re-watched the videos (would have bought the tee-shirt but there isn't one- YET!!). Anyway, you get the idea. I even watched Martin's video on creating a single slip- thought I may need a second viewing- I forget the middle bit. When I started playing with XtrackCAD (way before finding Templot) I ...
... topic: 392 Fn3 templates and newbie issues posted: 2 Apr 2008 02:38 from: jeckardt I'm a newbie to Templot, so please forgive me if this has been dealt with before. I've tried to search this forum, but haven't found an answer to this. I need to do a design in Fn3... that is, 1:20.3, 45mm track, narrow gauge spaced ties. I've got to believe someone has already figured out the appropriate parameters to define a custom gauge for Fn3. Can anyone offer me any advice on this? Thank you for any help, Joe posted: 2 Apr 2008 03:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Joe, There is a video showing how to customize a template for narrow-gauge in this topic: topic 376 regards, Martin. posted: 2 Apr 2008 21:19 from: jeckardt Thank you, Martin, that was most helpful.

... a couple of holes drilled in appropriate positions, small brass pins pushed through the holes from the bottom, bent over 90 degrees then soldered along the bottom of the inner side of the rail. I suspect there's something better to use than PCB as the copper bit isn't needed and requires gaping, but I can't think what. Point motors are Tortoise.

... had a look at the shove_timber_form? You see that I have repeated the accelerator key in upper case on some of the keys. If those key presses were implemented by the parent, there would be no reason to have them also underlined as Windows accelerator keys and it would work on all platforms. For the other buttons, we can leave them as ALT+ accelerator for users who need them for accessibility reasons, and everyone else can click them as usual. cheers, Martin.

... get the impression that your sleepers are getting cut to different lengths... Peco Crazy Track stylee A length stop is easy enough to rig up- I just didn't bother for the 9 second clip! Mostly though I now use it for cutting point timbering to pencil-marked lengths, using ply, and just buy in plain track sleepers already cut to length.

... ask them: "If I said that certain things were of a regular shape and some other things were of an irregular shape, would you assume that there was something wrong with those of irregular shape?"? Context is everything. How about irregular verbs? Doesn't mean they're wrong. You're hardly going to go to great lengths to describe how to construct irregular crossings if they're wrong. And you do define what an irregular crossing is. Still think irregular is nothing to worry about. Cheers Nigel posted: 21 May 2010 02:38 from: kenbec Martin, I was out and about this afternoon. I asked several people if I said something was irregular, would they think there was something wrong with it? Everyone said yes. Nigel is of course quite correct in his answer it is a matter of context. The generel sense of the replies you have received here is to stay with "irregular" and this is my vote. However if it bothers you I suggest you don't waste any time on this, call it what you like ...
54. 0-XF or 0-SF?
... believe this to be flawed, and I'm minded to remove it from Templot. I would suggest changing to 0-SF instead (31.2mm). For more about this, see: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/7mm/message/35046 and a lot of discussion about the current 0 gauge standards at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =281000#p281000 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =281534#p281534 regards, Martin. posted: 22 Mar 2008 02:48 from: Brian Lewis I would ask you to consider leaving 0-XF in your portfolio Martin. I certainly do not agree that 31.00 mm is, as you put it, 'flawed'. My own 40 foot 0 gauge layout is 0-XF and I have 8 years experience in building and operating to this gauge. There are limitations- a B7 is in reality the minimum turnout that will ensure faultless operation; wheels should be of a standard similar to Slaters, but that is it- there are ...
... I agree that limiting change will help the adoption of T3. Changes are OK where necessary, but best avoided where we can, unless they are clear improvements. I can sympathise with your headaches over multiple platforms. I have T2 on Windows, T3 in Lazarus on Windows and T2 under Wine on Linux! But this was just about the focus issue, yes?

I had a platform line made up of three separate templates so added the platform to each. I like the feature where you can turn off the start and end lines as it means that the resulting platform is one continuous run rather than three separate pieces. I can see many uses for this, not just platforms Using a negative front edge spacing means that goods sheds can be built, for instance! 105_220650_190000000.png posted: 22 May 2011 12:06 from: Phil O Hi Martin I have just used this feature and like Paul I can turn of the start and end lines but when I turn off the rear line it still remains in place. 38_220705_050000000.png Cheers Phil posted: 22 May 2011 12:20 from: Paul ...

Templot runs fine in this environment but... I will often put Templot in a window, then move and resize the window to use the entire right (# 2) monitor. Then I bring up notes or whatever on the left (# 1) monitor to work from. This works fine except that the left-click pop-up menu associated with background templates always pops up on the extreme left edge of the desktop... in this case that's the left edge of monitor #1 even though templot is running on monitor #2. So in the best of cases I have to mouse across both monitors to get to that menu. In the worst case I'm so focused on the templot window that I don't realize the menu popped up on the other monitor and keep clicking the mouse waiting for the ...
