101. 3D view?
... Ballasting is in progress in the foreground. The Santa Fe Railway has running powers over these GWR metals, and a train will shortly be arriving in the bay platform on the left. hc_3pi_2.jpg Here is my track plan for Hopton Clee. I created it in Templot and then exported a DXF file using the 3D Solid option for the DXF. The screenshot above shows the result after importing the file into 3rd PlanIt. The coloured rectangle is my attempt to sink the sleepers (ties) in some ballast. I added a few sample structures from the 3rd PlanIt libraries to create better perspective effects. The 3rd PlanIt file for this plan can be downloaded from http://templot.com/3pi/hopton_clee_and_trains.3pi It can be opened and the trains run in the free demo version of 3rd PlanIt. You won't be able to draw additional tracks from scratch in that version or save files, but you can add further trains and buildings from the supplied libraries. Or import your own Templot track plan by exporting it from Templot as a DXF file. If you are ...
102. yet another newbie
... , Brian. posted: 28 Sep 2014 20:21 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Simon, Regarding my request to provide the background image and sk81 files, in order to see where the baseboard boundaries are and other infrastructure details, has given me an idea. For the baseboard boundaries, to save re-drawing your plan every time you change the plan, you can use rectangle images which you can leave in position as the baseboard boundaries so that they will always be present (or not by selective choice). See sample image below. Please note, I have just arbitrarily set the image rectangles you can see, although they do start from the trackpad origin. Also note, I have removed the grid pattern for clarity. It does however, require you to set these rectangles up in the correct positions on the trackpad in Templot, then every time you post a box file, also post the rectangle image files and the sk81 file that way the baseboards will appear without the need for the overall track plan image. Alternatively, I can ...

... topic: 2433 GIF animation& Templot Club. posted: 28 Mar 2014 21:26 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, As a matter of interest, can you/we use GIF animation in the Templot Club screen/ messages? I have attached a sample file of such an animation, that I cooked up. They may be quite good for demonstrating simple operations of the track-work. I should first try opening it in Internet Explorer and watch the animation, then see if it works in Templot club. You can also use HTML to view the item. All the best, Brian.

The problem with that one is that it is far too wide -- 1351 pixels! To upload them as attachments keep them under 1200 pixels wide so that they appear directly in the message. But it is much better to upload them to the image gallery, like this: 2_281646_210000000.gif Keep them ...

To get a feeling for what is involved, you might like to download this sample file: topic 289 and look at all the partial templates. Note that this is a crossover without side-swapping, so not much use for passenger trains between platforms. Adding a side-swap complicates it even further -- an interesting exercise for the reader. I will write again with some suggestions soon. regards, Martin. posted: 8 Feb 2014 22:44 from: Steve Bedding Martin Many thanks for your quick response- I've had a quick look at the recommended file and can start to see the ...
... once, I can hibernate it indefinitely. 4. The symptom which made me fear it might be a Templot, rather than a Windows issue was that the programme appeared to be running fine until I clicked some action when the MessageBox appeared, closing the message box, Templot would continue to run, including screen scrolling, zooming until an action (including Close) was clicked when the message would re-appear etc, etc. 5. I have no evidence that the running of other programs has any impact (on a sample size of two!) 6. I have never had any other hibernate-related crashes though I hibernate the machine a fair bit as it takes an age to reboot. As I say, PLEASE salt this info away for future reference if needed- no further time to be spent on it. Just BTW, I have never experienced any issues with Word, but XL is extremely flaky on my machine- trying to open a second workbook causes an "insufficient resources" crash (with 8Gb of RAM!). ...

You might be interested in these USA-style templates in H0: topic 1335 Just download the file and save it to your E:\TEMPLOT_DEV\BOX-FILES\ folder. Then you can use reload to get them loaded into Templot. "USA-style" means narrower close-spaced timbers, and straight loose-heel switches in lengths typical of USA practice.

109. HON3 Template
... :06 from: CBryars2 Hi Newbie, please forgive if answered already, did search but did not see an answer. Is there a HOn3- 36" template? Are American units of measure available? Thanks Cameron posted: 14 Nov 2013 02:36 from: Martin Wynne CBryars2 wrote: Is there a HOn3- 36" template? Hi Cameron, Welcome to Templot Club. Templot can produce templates to any gauge or scale that you wish to set up. There isn't a library of existing templates. There are some sample files available for downloading containing USA-style templates for standard gauge and narrow-gauge tracks here: topic 1335 topic 28 You could use those as a starting point in creating your own settings. Are American units of measure available? By default Templot uses mm (millimetres) for model dimensions and inches for prototype dimensions. When you are asked for mm dimensions you can enter inches instead by prefixing the dimension with a letter i. For example to enter a model radius of 24 inches you would enter i24. Templot will ...
110. Laser cutting
... frame). If you do a half cut through each of the tabs, it is then easy to cut them off where not required. However, this has to be programmed into each specific model of laser cutter. e.g.- which colour means which type of cut i.e. to set the power of the laser- which order to use each layer/ colour (you should do the half cuts first)- how deep to cut each layer. Usually you have to set this up by trial and error on a sample of your material. I do not know what instructions you have with your machine. You need to check focus. I read that you normally aim for 1/3 to half way through the material. You also need to support the material flat, but on some waste material that it does not matter if the laser cuts into it. Not metal, as that reflects the laser light and could lead to secondary burns. Corrugated cardboard might work well? One advantage of laser cut sleepers is that they can all be ...
... topic: 1652 DXF output file title& timber numbers questionable posted: 12 Oct 2011 18:58 from: Brian Nicholls Hi Martin, Just thought I would report these two items which do not seem quite right, regarding DXF output files from the TDV. 1. The template number overlaps the timber numbering, (see attached file). 2. The template title is displayed right across the middle of the file, instead of, perhaps, just above or just below the drawing. I have attached a sample DXF file for you viewing.

In the meantime I'm not going to tell you to RTFM because there isn't one, or at least not a comprehensive up-to-date one. That's one of the reasons why Templot is now free to use.

115. Official O14 gauge
... decision a long time ago not to include any narrow-gauge pre-sets in the gauge list. There are just too many of them. When I tried to include them the list was swamped with them and it was difficult to find the standard-gauge settings among them. All you need to do is post a .box file containing some 0n14 templates with the desired custom settings. Your members can download the file and will then be able to use the 0n14 settings in Templot. In fact there are already some 0n14 sample templates available for download, although I would need to check* the dimension settings which I used -- you could easily modify them if necessary: 0n14_samples.png Download from: topic 28 Finally please note we agreed in 2008 that the official designation is O14 (i.e. Capital Letter O followed by 14) and not o14 or O-14 as often used. Historically the model railway gauge designations are numeric, so that should be 0n14 not On14. If you use letter O, the next size up would have to be ...

The questions are 1 What would be a reasonable size turnout so its not too big but on the other hand does not look like a crazy track turnout. 2 What would be a good sleeper spacing when I set up my own spec in the scale/gauge section and any other usefull advice when inputting data in this section.

I'm adding formatted text capability to the sketchboard and I would be grateful for a few test RTF files saved from the current version of Word. Files from Word seem to vary in format so much that it is a minefield to keep tabs on. If you can help, please attach here a short sample file from Word saved in RTF format (not doc) and containing some formatted text, different fonts and colours, tables, paragraph indents, with and without coloured backgrounds, etc. I can then test how well it will import onto the sketchboard. This will make it easier to add attractive notes and titles to the sketchboard when used for display; to add locking tables for signal box diagrams; etc. The existing text items are a bit limited in this regard. But please don't include pictures in the file as ...
118. Two TDV questions
... long!!! [and height is increased in an equivalent manner!] Hi Donald, It's not intended to use exported image files as construction templates, they are intended for display purposes only. It is almost impossible to print them to accurate sizes -- image printing software seems to vary a lot. The 4000 setting is not the resolution in dpi, it is the width of the image in pixels. You can change it to whatever you want. It won't change by itself. For the neatest result re-sample it down to a smaller size in your image editing software, rather than using smaller sizes in Templot. Use the normal printed output, or a PDF file printed via a PDF reader program, or a DXF file printed via a CAD program, if you want accurate templates. Is there a problem in using Templot's normal print output for your cutter? You may find this topic of interest if you are using a plotter/cutter: topic 767 regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2012 14:29 from: ...

The problem is the decimal separator character in the Windows international settings. Leo, you can cure the problems temporarily by changing the international settings on your computer to a country which uses a dot as a separator for decimal fractions, rather than a comma. e.g. USA, UK, etc., or most English-speaking countries. (In the Windows Control Panel> Regional and Language Options) However, that's probably not something you want to do on a permanent basis. There is a bug in Templot ...
