... topic: 2939 Translation of templot posted: 23 Nov 2016 22:06 from: Jerome FAGOT Hello everyone and martin I know templot for a few years but I have decided to use it recently. This is a great software but I find it quite complex learning, especially for me who do not speak English. Are translations planned and if not, is there any way we can modify the menus to translate the terms into our language? Templot is exactly what I needed to plan my future N-scale network, which should be quite complex and large. In addition I love the switches, it is for me a real passion and I could spend hours in front of a railway station grill to study the changes of multiple tracks. My difficulty lies mainly in the fact that I can link the paths between them, the procedures seem to me long and very complex. A thousand thanks to Martin for inventing and writing this software. See you soon FAGOT Jérôme (from France) PS: translated on internet posted: 30 Nov 2016 23 ...
... is sometimes necessary when we are cramped for space. It also happens on the prototype, although not very often (they have more space ), see some prototype pics here: topic 2506 If you restart Templot you can watch the video from the help> watch a video> switch close behind V-crossing menu item. Or if that doesn't work, download it to watch in the Templot video player from: http://templot.com/fbr/switch_close_behind_V-crossing___1.fbr It is 26MB, so will take a few seconds to download. If you don't have Templot and prefer to watch it online, or on a mobile device, it is also on this link (in poorer image quality): http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id=BDXvSdUuD-vmjFK4us4vxA2 For this video I have tried adding a voice commentary instead of pausing to read text notes. Feedback welcome on which format you prefer. The video includes some notes on notch-linking for groups, which has more general application than this subject only. regards, Martin ...
603. BGS file format
... for the background shapes. So for BGS3 I have used XML instead. Like INI it is text-based and readable, and editable in a text editor, although I wouldn't recommend doing that. Fortunately we already have Nils's open-source XML engine used for the sketchboard SK9 files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simdesign/files/trunk/nativexml/ So I was able to use that more or less as-is, and much to my relief I found that it compiled in Lazarus with only a few minor tweaks. Here is an example of what a BGS3 file looks like: <? xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8 "?> <BGS3> <HEADER> <program_name>Templot2 background shapes, saved from version 2.25.a</program_name> <program_version>225</program_version> <file_date>27/11/2019 01:50:17</file_date> <shapes_count>6 </ shapes_count> </ HEADER> <BGND_SHAPE_0> <shape_name>baseboard joint< ...
... . I have no need to print the complete layout, but find when I'm working in sections, I run off the end as it were and have to reset the page origin to cover the top end of the layout. Not a problem other than the page identification letters are now different and the only way to line it up is using the track itself. Not a major issue, but wondered if there is a way round it I'm not aware of. No need to do anything as I can cope with the odd few times it happens, but wondered if there is a solution.

... 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.

... topic: 3582 Flat bottom turnout geometry posted: 18 Dec 2019 14:37 from: DerekStuart Hello all after a long break, I've come back- a few hours with Templot last night and 90% of it has come back to me. I've found a nice little project, but it has flat bottom rail/ turnouts. I remember reading Martin's comments that the geometry is different (to me it looks the same, but I would like to get it right). NB this area was relaid early/mid 1970s and I know FB has changed since then. Could anyone kindly point me to any information online? I don't want to ask anyone to repeat what has undoubtedly already been written, but my searches have come to nought. Also, does anyone have any experience with the Peco Pandrol clips? I know they're overscale and in any case not exactly what was there at the time, but close enough. Many thanks for any suggestions. Perhaps I need to take lessons in search engines.

... my other preferences. Have I perhaps inadvertently stopped this being saved? Hi Stuart, It should be working. However, I see that I have introduced a bug in the code. If after choosing a scheme you go to this dialog again: 2_310735_530000000.png and then cancel it, the previously chosen setting won't change, but it will be removed from the preferences setting, reverting to the sky-blue default in the preferences. I will get this fixed. The work-around is to choose the same scheme again. A few things to note: 1. this works only if you choose a specific colour scheme using the dialog above. It doesn't work if you set a specific scheme or change the individual colours in the trackpad menu. I will get this changed. 2. it works only if your monitor is set for what Windows used to call "Hi-Color" depth. Templot still has separate settings for the indexed palette colours used on some old CRT monitors (not flat-screen). 3. obviously you must be saving ...

There could be somebody else sitting in the other room using my license.... Hi Rob, I doubt it- but if you get an email invoice for a second licence you will have your answer. Before ditching Windows entirely you may want to try Templot on Wine. Sure it works, but it is a bit clunky in places. Also a few Windows-only functions are missing, such as the screenshot capture for the NLS maps. I haven't found a Linux replacement for the Windows TWebBrowser component -- maybe Graeme can help with that? cheers, Martin. posted: 15 Jan 2020 19:30 from: Rob Manchester Thanks Martin, Maybe just keeping the main PC on Windows and using the 'niche' OS on the others may be a compromise solution.

610. 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 ...
... topic: 2916 I've lost my centre lines. posted: 26 Aug 2016 09:35 from: Godfrey Earnshaw My centre lines only show on the Control Template. I know sometime in the last few months I selected an option somewhere that did this, which is what I wanted. However, I can't remember where it was that I made this selection. Reminder someone. P.S. This is not the selection on the Geometry Menu. Please help I want my lines back on background templates. posted: 26 Aug 2016 10:32 from: Martin Wynne Hi Godfrey, Track centre-lines or timber centre-lines? On the screen or on printed templates? On existing background templates or newly stored ones? After reloading a file or while working? Are you using saved program preferences? If so are you using the option to include the generator settings? There are several ways to make centre-lines disappear on background templates: 1. design them without centre-lines in the first place, or with the centre-line moved to ...

... it is not perfect as I have really struggled with this. Thank you once again. Regards Les Attachment: attach_2318_2910_Curved_Junction.b ox 204 posted: 9 Aug 2016 18:10 from: Martin Wynne Hi Les, You seem to have done quite well in creating the junction. But there is one big snag, and I don't know how to tell you this -- it's not 0 gauge. You have designed it using the fictional startup T-55 gauge at 5.5mm/ft. You should have received a warning about this a few minutes after starting the Templot session. It would be possible to do an instant conversion, but then of course it would not be 8ft radius, and may introduce some discrepancies. So I would recommend starting again in 0 gauge -- click in the gauge menu before you begin, and choose your gauge. 0-MF is now regarded by many as the best option for new layouts. I will have another look at this later and do something for you. As there is no contraflexure it doesn't need to be ...
... 53.0040&lon=-2.0724&layers=64&b =1 &point=0 ,0 Unlike the old-maps.co.uk site, it is all free and without watermarks. Also the scanning resolution seems to be better, which is significant when zooming in on them for use in Templot. When the scans are integrated into their seamless georeferenced system, you can cross-fade from historic to present-day mapping, making a wonderful resource for track planning and scaling.

615. 85a Models
... I will put some in the post to you. You can find my email address by clicking my name on the left of this. You will need some means to heat-seal the collars onto the rods -- you could make a special soldering-iron bit for the purpose (the crankpins are fixed to the rods and rotate in the wheels). If you have none of the special plastic-safe grease supplied with the loco, I will send you some of that too. If nothing has happened after a few weeks, post a reminder reply here. (p.s. alternatively you could turn replacement collars in suitable plastic.) regards, Martin. posted: 18 Jul 2016 16:40 from: Cartaret Thank you for the assistance concerning the 85a Hunslet...

Thanks again for the time to answer my question. A perfect answer. Best regards, Rick I think that Templot is brilliant. posted: 22 Feb 2017 23:03 from: Martin Wynne Hi Rick, The lack of "modify group to match" on the V-crossing customizing is an obvious omission.

People are worrying due to a few examples of new owners failing, because the original owner WAS the business and only he had the specialist knowledge to fabricate parts. All the hard design work in this case has already been done and the actual production contracted out. What CLE needs now is someone with basic commercial common sense. People may be forgetting that C&L -E has already had a change of owner. Pete has done a hell of a good job of driving the company forward commercially and if the new owner(s) just keep doing ...

... in the full scale? Hi Jason, Yes, that's correct for UK practice with traditional wooden bearers. In the UK the bearers under plain track are called sleepers. They are 10 inches wide and 5 inches thick. That scales to 3.3mm wide in 4mm/ft scale models (00, EM, P4). The bearers under turnouts and other pointwork are called crossing timbers, usually just timbers. They are 12 inches wide and 6 inches thick. That scales to 4.0mm wide in 4mm/ft scale models. A few special ones are sometimes wider at 14 inches or even 16 inches where needed to support the chair castings for bullhead rail. Modern concrete bearers do vary a bit in thickness, but generally the widths are very similar. All these settings can be changed in Templot at real> timbering> menu items. cheers, Martin.
