... (1979 drawings) Next question is the type of switch, thats easy, its a straight switch. Next is the lead length to heel. This is explained as: "This is the distance from the tip of the blade (switch rail) to the point known as the "heel". This point is used in the calculation of the turnout radius." That should be 16' 6", giving me 198 inches. Looking good so far. Offset at the heel: 6,25 inches, I didnt actually get this measurement from the drawing, I just remember it as being standard somewhere... I might be wrong though. Now comes the stock rail joint to toe, and its explained as follows: This is the switch front distance from the stock rail joint at the left end of the turnout to the "toe" (blade tips). For GWR switches this dimension is normally 64 inches, elsewhere it is usually 65 inches. There are normally 2 standard sleepers occupying this space. This is where it ...

... topic: 1661 Exporting to DXF- something is not working for me posted: 22 Oct 2011 16:20 from: leo_sandstrom Hi Hope someone can help me explain why my DXF exports look like the attached image. (rails and timbers are distorted) Seems to be some sort of rounding problem. 2094_221118_540000000.png I checked the help files and searched all over but didnt find anything. Regards /Leo posted: 22 Oct 2011 19:20 from: leo_sandstrom I might add that PDF export works fine, but I still got no idea as to why the dxf export looks like this. Regards /Leo posted: 22 Oct 2011 22:34 from: Martin Wynne Hi Leo, Which program are you using to display the DXF? I can't reproduce that effect. A good way to test exported DXF files from Templot is to re-import them into Templot as background shapes. main> background shapes> dxf import tab. As a matter of interest, which method did you use to convert the H0 templates to N gauge? Have you made ...

... me that i might be missing something? Just a note for the website owner/operator- although im using Templot on a PC laptop, I have an Apple Mac as my main day-to-day machine (far easier than anything Microsoft!) but i cant see some of the videos on here because there EXE files. I'm told this is because they are Windows only, which is a shame, as my Mac has a far better screen for watching videos! Not complaining, just a comment in case somebody didnt know. Thanks again to both of you.

... to a new one that I would be able to do what I wanted with. As I travel around alot and am often away from home for extended periods I wanted something that would be portable and yet capable of doing what I wanted. Being a mac person I thought about getting a Macbook, and running parallels so I could run Templot. But looking at the size and weight I thought that this was a bit too heavy and besides I have a 12" PB. So thoughts turned further a field. As I didnt want anything with Vista on due to PC tech support friends having varying views from mild acceptance to severe disdain I started to look far and wide. Finally I came across the eeePC and with a new version out with a 9" screen I thought that was a strong contender. There are 2 versions one with Windows (13Gb) and one with Linux (20Gb) I opted for the Linux model as I thought that I could then install Windows at a later date. Once my new toy arrived, I have to ...

... :27 from: RK Evening all, I've been back on with trackplan designing for my new 7mm 1960s era loft layout. I'm very lucky in having an area of 21ft x 11ft, roughly to play with. I was thinking of a four track section and six or seven road yard, but the more i played with the yard two things hit me, one was the complicated nature of the point work to build, the other was that some of the curves were getting very close to 4' radius, which i didnt want. Hence, a complete rethink, and the attached plan. Its over two levels, the fiddle yard (Bottom Level) and the scenic file (Top Level). I've also attached a sketchboard plan of the top level showing which are single or double slips, etc, as they are just included as diamonds at the moment. I have a couple of queries, if anyone can take a look? a) Before I go any further can anyone see any problems initially? b) The three roads at ...

... Templot video in this topic: customizing for narrow-gauge It's for 7mm scale 2ft gauge, so you would need to alter some of the settings accordingly. For 3ft gauge I think you could guess at sleepers being 6ft long as a starting point. regards, Martin. posted: 15 Oct 2008 00:02 from: marc witten Many thanks Martin,its Templot gauges i was after,thanks for the info its appreciated,after i got your message a friend informed me i had some info already in a book and didnt realize it,another quick one on the narrow gauge templots,not looked yet but i'm asking the questioncan i move the sleeper spacing to match the info i have,ie 21" spacing at joints and 30" elsewhere center to center, once again many thanks regards Marc Wittem posted: 15 Oct 2008 02:26 from: Nigel Brown Look under Real- plain track options Nigel posted: 15 Nov 2008 00:12 from: smokestak3174 I've just started designing 3' track in 7mm and have been experimenting.

... sometimes thats what the punter wants? posted: 29 Nov 2017 17:42 from: madscientist I've read that a few times and I think you want to adjust a curve to finish at a specified angle, so that you can attach a straight track at that angle? Lots of ways to do that, here's a bit of video showing one of them: thanks, I had never considered the orbit action, now I know I tried this, given my marked up example I put in my previous message here, it didnt do what I wanted regards dave Last edited on 29 Nov 2017 17:47 by madscientist posted: 29 Nov 2017 17:48 from: Martin Wynne madscientist wrote: I agree, but sometimes that's what the punter wants?
