... . menu item. For 16.2mm gauge, subtract half of the track gauge: 00-SF: 19mm- 8.1mm= 10.9mm from the running edge of the rail. For RTR models you might want to increase it a bit to allow for body-sway, axle end-float, etc. And for any curving of course. You can change the setting in Templot, as shown. cheers, Martin. posted: 6 Feb 2019 17:54 from: roythebus Thanks, very helpful. posted: 13 Feb 2019 10:43 from: madscientist you might find this useful http://goo.gl/images/7o7U5o Last edited on 13 Feb 2019 10:44 by madscientist Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

Trevor posted: 26 Jan 2014 15:16 from: Raymond If you want to remove all the timbers in a turnout go to 'Real' 'Timbering' 'No timbering'. If you want to remove some but not all timbers then go to 'Real' 'Shove timbers'.

And I welcome sensible criticism, it gets the grey cells working and pondering how things might be done differently -- short of starting again with a completely different program of course. But what I find intensely irritating is when (as here) the comments are made based on the use of an out-of-date version of the program. I can understand, just, that some folks may prefer to ...
... topic: 3386 Printing turnout templates posted: 10 Feb 2019 06:40 from: Geoff C Good Afternoon Everyone I have searching for an answer on how to print a single (or crossover) turnout on a single page or two pages. When I opt to print an turnout it prints anything up to 4 pages depending where the turnout appears on the printing 'plan' and then have to be cut out and taped together. Thank you. Kind regards Geoff posted: 10 Feb 2019 11:33 from: Martin Wynne Hi Geoff, Use the move page origin mouse action (SHIFT+ CTRL+ F10) to move the page outlines for a best fit: 2_100623_010000000.png The page outlines are shown as purple dotted lines, and the page origin is shown as a purple square dot. If you want to set the page origin to a known position (so that you can repeat it in future, or to align with the grid lines), click the blue dimensions shown on the mouse action panel in the usual way. cheers, Martin. ...
... topic: 2342 Help With First Track Plan posted: 12 Nov 2013 10:31 from: Chris Dark Hi all, I am very new to the world of handbuilt trackwork and Templot, I have decided to stop designing my 18X4ft peco code 75 layout in favour of a 8x4ft P4. I have made this decision as I feel I would gain more satisfaction, plus the fact is is more achievable project. I have come up with a design which gives me some usability but I would like some help/advice on some of my track settings: Firstly the points at the far end of the run-around loop look far too long. I had drawn up a rough plan in Scarm to give myself an idea of layout which I then sketched over. Can somebody explain how I can shorten the points but keep the curve of the track? My second question is how to add a straight piece of track. I created a separate piece by adding a branch from an existing point then moving using the f7 command and snapping onto the end ...

So I was wondering if there are any local Temploters out there who could help me get back on track( pardon the pun ), I live close to Chichester but do not know of any like minded souls.

... topic: 2329 Not able to restore timbers posted: 6 Oct 2013 10:16 from: Stephen Freeman Hi, I don't seem able to restore timbers as I used to be. If you select no timbering and then later use shift/F10 and click on the green bar to restore timbers, it doesn't and the option to restore timbers is greyed out. Is there some new way to do this or is it a bug? posted: 6 Oct 2013 10:46 from: Martin Wynne Hi Stephen, I can't reproduce this. It is all working ok for me. Where did you select "no timbering"?

630. Update problem
... : 8 Oct 2013 00:48 from: Martin Wynne Ian Allen wrote: I did a full Templot removal from my PC and then re-installed and now it opens without any issue. Hi Ian, I don't believe there was any need to do that. If you get that message when I haven't posted any note about a new update, it means the UK server is throwing a wobbly, but hasn't actually gone down. (If it goes down, Templot checks the USA server instead.) Just wait say 10 minutes and then try again. I noticed your messages spanned midnight, so no doubt some sort of server maintenance was in progress. In the next update I have changed the code so that if anything is amiss in the UK server connection, even if it is still up and responding, Templot goes to the USA server anyway. Sorry for any inconvenience. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Oct 2013 10:21 from: Ian Allen Morning Martin, I think it was about 23:45 when it first occurred ...
... because it tells me in the title of the box. 2_150641_460000000.png p.s. in Templot "reload" refers to the storage box, not the file. i.e. it means "replace existing& load new data". It doesn't mean repeat loading of the same thing. The word for that is "refresh", although Templot doesn't have a separate function for that -- you must reload again from the same file as before. This I haven't understood but perhaps I don't need to?

632. Update problem
... topic: 2303 Update problem posted: 7 Sep 2013 08:38 from: Jacques Gerber Hello All: I downloaded and installed Templot 208b. On startup, I'm informed that this is not the latest version, and then Templot closes, and opens the update page, where I get the exact same version, which on installation, repeats the whole process. Any advice? Is something buggy? BTW I'm working on Windows 7. Thanks Jacques Gerber posted: 7 Sep 2013 10:07 from: Martin Wynne Hi Jacques, I can't see any problem from here. Anyone else seeing this? I think the problem must be a caching issue at your ISP. I have now edited the file on the server which hopefully will update the timestamp and cause your ISP to re-fetch the cache. Please try again now. If still now joy, please wait a few hours and then try again. Templot checks the USA server only if the UK server fails to respond at all. I will change the code so that Templot won't close without ...
... my attention to this. There is more flexibility if you do a PDF export directly from the sketchboard file menu. In this case the document size is set to match the sketchboard page size (on the yellow rulers). You can then print it from a PDF reader program using whatever scaling and tiling options that program provides. The sketchboard page size can be changed to whatever you want -- like this: 2_240029_410000000.png (normal means 260mm x 180mm; custom means you have set any size, including large sizes up to 10 metres for wide-format roll paper printing at a digital copyshop.) Then to make your sketchboard design fit the new page, click the update now button: 2_240035_220000000.png regards, Martin. posted: 24 Jan 2014 10:35 from: Dasatcopthorne Thank you very much, Martin.

... topic: 3272 Set template at specified location on grid posted: 17 May 2018 10:42 from: Stumpytrain Hello, A little project I'm pondering has a turntable at the heart of it, and this will have a key roll in the geometry of all track on the layout. So, I've drawn the 300mm turntable as a background image, with the centre and 155mm on the x and y to allow sufficient room around the baseboard... at least for the purpose of this planning. I then created a bit of plain track 300mm long and moved the peg to the "mid-length". I had the ambition of moving this track so the peg centred on the turntable and then I could "F8 rotate at peg" from there. Now, I'm sure that this is an incredibly rookie question, but I promise I've googled "rotation centre dimension", clicked on the "? info" boxes [error- no text 0] and checked the companion page [Sorry, nothing here yet.

Hi Trevor, You have used standard switches instead of the preset slip switches: 2_300644_220000000.png Also one of your switches is a 9ft switch, which is unnecessarily short for a 1:7.25 slip. If you use the preset slip switches and peg them on to the TCP and MCP positions, the blade tips will be correctly supported on the timbers and clear of the check rails. (At present you have them in fresh air, ...
... , not by setting the gap between them. For Z gauge the scale is 1:220. If the gap between them is 1.4mm, that means on the prototype it is 1.4 x 220= 308mm. If your prototype timbers are say 250mm(?) wide, that means the centre-to-centre spacing would be 250+ 308= 558mm, which is 22 inches. So you would enter 22 inches centre-to-centre spacing. Are you modelling American railways? Generally timbers are narrower than 250mm/10 inches, and typically at 21 inches spacing. If you can post a drawing of your prototype track details, it will be easier to answer specifically about how to set it up in Templot. regards, Martin. posted: 3 Dec 2017 17:26 from: Z Gauge Tim Hi Martin and Phil, Thank you very much for your advice.

... :06 from: DerekStuart Hello Martin I am getting pop up boxes marked Templot2 at the top and the message 'List index out of bounds (- 1)' (inverted commas added by me). I just ignore it and it carries on. I did find it a little while back but the window appeared and disappeared so quickly that I couldn't read it and thus couldn't report it. If it's any help it happens when there are quite a few templates on the trackpad. This laptop is fairly iffy since the Windows 10 update a while back so it may well just be down to that.
