... , but that was the general arrangement. This was the final arrangement below. attachment.php?id=378 I hope some one can help me and hope the images help explain problem. My main concern is placing of rail joints and their fishplates. Regards Dave Attachment: attach_378_606_additional_timber.j pg 653 Last edited on 3 Nov 2008 12:45 by David posted: 31 Oct 2008 16:00 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Welcome to Templot Club and thanks for the kind words. Which version of Templot are you using? To perform detailed adjustments of rail joints you need to upgrade to the latest versions, at least version 082d. I'm sorry to be a bit dense, but could you explain what you want to do in greater detail? If you switch on the timber numbering for your screenshots, you can refer to the timbers by number. You can also use marker colours to show each template in a different colour. Some general points: For UK bullhead track, chairs cannot be closer than about 24" centres for standard 4-hole fishplates ...
... 596 Saving and retrieval posted: 25 Oct 2008 01:54 from: Brian Lewis All, I accept that as a casual user of Templot I really have not been able to master the programme- but I guess I am not alone in this. One thing I find frustrating and cannot seem to solve is the problem of 'when is saving, not actually saving?'. Let me explain. I create a template and/or series of templates. OK. It is my own aberration but before I create anything I perform the following actions: Real- Timbering, I uncheck the 9' sleepering and replace by 8'-6" sleepers. (I guess so few folk model 9' sleepers that perhaps the default is the wrong way round. I also check timber ends in line. Generator- generator settings. I uncheck, (one at a time- why not a pop-up that allows me to so do in one operation)?, track centre lines, radial end marks, outline extension marks, timber centre lines ...

... : template> V-crossing options... other angle, OK Set the crossing angle to k24 (the k prefix letter enters degrees instead of unit angles) Then repeat the conversion to a Barry slip as above. If you have Peco crossings you can physically measure, check that the actual lengths match these templates along both legs. As with a normal diamond-crossing in Templot, you will need to group the two templates if you want to shift them about as a unit. It would probably be easier to perform the above conversions in situ each time from the short turnout template, it's quite quick to do. Don't use the long Peco turnout for any of this, it won't work. regards, Martin. Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.

... would have a more significant servicing and goods yard area that currently is not supported in the plan. My intent was for this to have an urban back scene of retaining wall with low relief warehouses frontages and a decent station building servicing the up and down main and branch terminus lines. I had intended the upper level station at the bootom of the page (I call it Hightor) to represent a country stop with the sidings servicing the local cattle and milk industries. I had not intended a massive deal of operations to be performed with the layout more designed for watching trains that shunting yard loads of wagons hence the double main concept I guess. For storage I had thought of a lower level storage facility under the Matlock station with say 4 tracks that came up at a fairly steep 4% grade and joined up to the hidden lines under Hightor at the bottom of the layout thus providing some fiddle yard type terminus storage. Bench work is complete at a constant height around the entire room and the track subroad bed of 12mm plywood will be supported on ...

Getting a Macbook, getting used to the OS and setting up Templot on it may be much more troublesome. My son is a Mac devotee and tried to convince me the Mac was the way to go when I was looking at getting a laptop. But when adding up th extra cost of the Mac, plus needing a legit copy of a Windows OS (XP or 7) to run in Virtual Machine, and the learning curve to get used to the Mac, it was not worth it.

... end with the marker line), the TS side is on the same side as the hand. But if you get it wrong it doesn't really matter, just click on it and do delete to current/control, and make double-track on the other side. I will answer your question about the notch in a separate topic, to avoid confusion. But in fact all you need to know about the peg and notch functions are in the docs at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_geometry.htm The notch performs a similar function to snapping, but with a great deal more flexibility and control, so that you can precisely define the way one template or partial template joins or overlaps another. To see the full power of the notch, watch the "linking to the notch" video in the list at: topic 12 regards, Martin. posted: 23 Nov 2007 13:05 from: Gordon S Hi Martin, thanks as always for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive reply.

... to keep it, I suggest renaming the old files accordingly, e.g. TemplotZero74b.exe. Then you can move them all to the C:\TEMPLOT folder or wherever you prefer, and create new shortcuts to them. Alternatively just delete the old versions of TemplotZero.exe if you don't want to keep them. For reference, the latest 091b version of TemplotZero.exe has a file size of 3,508KB and you should leave that one unchanged. It's possible the above is completely wrong and for reasons of its own your copy of Windows has performed a Restore to an earlier system state. I can't tell you why that might have happened, but the solution for Templot is simply to download and install 091b again. regards, Martin. posted: 25 Nov 2007 17:41 from: Phil O Hi Martin The emails you received were sent from the forum to everyone -- I posted "reminder" messages in the original topic announcing the availability of version 091b. Sorry for any confusion, I am probably more confused than anyone. I am attaching a screen shot ...
... bank, although it does slow the loco down a bit. regards, Martin. Hi Martin, Sorry I was being a bit clumsy with my wording- what I should have said is that all we have on the layout is a couple of slight inclines on the dock branch (to do no more than bury the sleepers under a roadway. Mostyn on the prototype is dead level so there was never any need for us to explore the workability of gradients. We can, however, detect the change in a difficult train's performance if we do not level the boards carefully (e.g. a heavy rake of Mark 1s with a relatively weak loco). Dave Goodwin and I (and other members of our group) are very keen to come down and see Adavoyle Junction- Tony has already come to visit us at Barrowmore so we're overdue making the return visit.

... if" in that statement. For perspective correction to work properly, it is important that everything to which the grid is aligned is in the same plane -- in this case the rail top. This means that we can't use the timbers for alignment, because they are in a different vertical plane. Sometimes you can get away with using the timbers in a higher shot (if they are square-on), but not in a low-angle shot such as this. gimp5.png This is the result in Gimp after performing a perspective transform (in Corrective mode). The aspect ratio of length to width is still completely wrong, of course. gimp6.png This is the same thing rotated into the more usual direction for Templot. gimp7.png And here it is loaded into a picture shape in Templot. I have shrunk it vertically and stretched it horizontally to fit the proper aspect ratio using the shift shape corner 2 mouse action. It is easy to get the height correct -- just match the rails to the track gauge. Getting the length right ...
... all the ones before those. And each one is always touted as the best thing since sliced bread each time they come out. If XP is no good, why don't they give everyone their money back? Or at the 40 years life worth- say less 5 years that you only got to use it for? Cars wear out. Electronics doesn't. It's only the deliberate built in backwards incompatibility that causes any need to upgrade at all for computing purposes. And each time absolutely flattens the otherwise OK existing generation and better performance of the next generation of hardware. There used to be a thriving market for add-ons that you could pick and choose what extra features you wanted, and only pay those smarter people for just what you wanted. Now it all comes (poorly) with the "OS", whether you want it or not, at a price that generally costs more that than many complete computers. Microsoft has had over 20 years and around a 100 Billion Dollars to figure out how to ship an OS without a bunch of ...
... would be if they changed to EM, using 1.0mm flangeways, by demonstrating such running with their existing 00 stock. I'm fairly sure "EM minus 2" was Roy's own idea. Or it may have come from elsewhere in the EMGS. I am very sure it was Roy who told me about it. When I started manufacturing pointwork Roy asked me to make up a crossover in "EM minus 2" which he could have on the EM stand at shows. I made one up and I was immediately impressed with its performance. So much so that I altered my standard 00 product to 16.2mm gauge with 1.0mm flangeways. I didn't shout about the 16.2 aspect of it, knowing it would be contentious, just that it was an extra fine 00 standard which worked very well. Mention of the 16.2mm gauge was hidden in the small print. But customers liked it and always came back for more. The narrower flangeways made it look much finer than any other 00 pointwork. At that time they were using only "scale 00" wheels -- ...

... move the brown template until one end is close to the end of a blue template, and when you click or release the mouse it will jump into alignment. Hi Martin, As a beginner myself, I think a point worth mentioning here is that when you are working zoomed in on an area and try to placed a template at a particular point using F7, sometimes the template disappears or moves away from the location you want when you release the mouse key. The answer to this, I have found, is to perform DO> UNDO CHANGES twice (x2), this then brings the template back to the point where you last put it when you released the mouse key. The above usually happens when you have a cluttered formation and the control template jumps to a nearby background peg point instead of the place you want. This I might add, only happens using F7. Hope this does not confuse anyone, but thought it might clear up "The case of the disappearing or moving Templates". Regards Brian Nicholls. posted: 26 ...
... template will immediately do make the control, without displaying the full menu. To display the full menu, right-click on the template, or SHIFT+ click on the template name label. That sounds like a good move, but shouldn't that be the other way around? I can imagine great confusion being caused when a user accidentally or otherwise clicks on a background template and then wonders why their control template has changed. But that's what beginner users expect to happen. The usual Windows way is that a left-click performs the default action, and a right-click displays the full menu of available actions (with the default action shown bold). I'm fairly sure experienced users won't like the new Quick mode, but may grow into it. It is easily avoided anyway by reverting to classic Templot mode. The only way to find out is to try it and see. If it all gets shot down in flames, I can remove it from subsequent versions. regards, Martin. posted: 10 Jan 2011 00:12 from: ...
... , not really surprising. But by changing to the manual option to add the trackplan item in bitmap format, and using the boundary rectangle* option (the green outline above), it did work. This is the sketchboard view: 2_040506_400000001.png However, I couldn't get it into the PDF or print outputs. Partly that's because of the high degree of zoom needed, but also because picture shape bitmaps have to be rotated 90 degrees from the trackpad view to mach the template output -- requiring further large amounts of memory to perform the rotation. I'm going to have another look at the code for including picture shapes in the output, to see if I can reduce the memory requirement, and speed things up. Also to reduce the PDF file size for multiple small pages (which is massive if picture shapes are included, compared to the same thing as a single large page). Thanks again for sending the file. regards, Martin. *For the metafile format, the boundary rectangle must contain the entire picture shape. posted: 4 Jul ...
