... same template multiple times to lay out the plan? Hi Bruce, Click on it, copy it to current/control, then just keep moving it and storing a copy of it. If you don't change the current/control template it doesn't change by itself. If you don't see it because it's hidden, press the HOME key. If it's not in the field of view, press the SPACEBAR. Here's a quick Jing video showing that -- version 0.82.d (also shows F7 snapping): http://screencast.com/t /gIIbs4s7i If you don't understand the difference between the current/control template and stored background templates, see: http://www.templot.com/martweb/gs_whatis.htm regards, Martin. posted: 25 Dec 2007 16:30 from: BruceNordstrand Thanks heaps Martin I'll give it a try. I had a quick read and now understand what you mean. Haven't spied the video yet but will do so in a minute or two, when I have finished typing this and grabbing a new cuppa! Cheers Bruce posted: ...
... possible to do a template with checkrail on the inner rail of a curve? -but I haven't found a way of doing it yet. Hi Russ, Use approach track to a turnout as your plain track. Extend the turnout side check rail back into the approach track. You need to calculate the required length in prototype inches (or do some trial and error). Then shorten the template to show only the approach track (F4 mouse action). Here's a quick Jing video showing that: http://screencast.com/t /sCqws2uz That gets one end of the plain track. Put the peg at CTRL-9 and do make mirror on peg to get the other end. Here's another bit of Jing video showing that: http://screencast.com/t /0awuIDZ3h regards, Martin. posted: 27 Apr 2008 05:38 from: russ Thanks!, I'll have a go at it! posted: 27 Apr 2008 06:54 from: Martin Wynne russ wrote: Thanks!, I'll have a go at it ...
... ' way to bring the end of the template into view. HTH, Best rgds ,Dave P 2_230015_440000000.png posted: 23 Mar 2014 05:12 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, Thanks for the screenshot. The make transition function creates the transition alignment for you, but leaves to you the task of adjusting the template boundaries to whatever you want. Quite often the initial templates are simply dummy templates to be deleted after the transition template has been extended to replace them, as in this Jing video: http://screencast.com/t /bcL6Uu2uKtM Then you can perhaps insert a turnout in it, roam it to where you want it, and split off additional templates for further work, like this: http://screencast.com/t /2ayrwECC In other situations you may want to retain the initial templates, in which case you would shorten the new transition template to the required boundary, like this: http://screencast.com/t /yx92CFuh perhaps also adjusting the length of the initial templates if needed. In addition there are options ...
5. .box files
... Hi Simon, .box files are saved in Templot's own data storage format. So you will be able to use them only if you are a Templot user. If you are, you should be able to click on the link, and your browser will download the file and launch Templot for you. Templot will then ask you if you want to load the downloaded file. I've made a bit of Jing video showing that happening (in Firefox) -- it may take a few seconds to start: http://screencast.com/t /DEq7j9ezB If you prefer, instead of choosing to Open the downloaded file, you can choose the option in your browser to Save it. Then you can select a folder on your computer where you want it saved. And at any time later you can go there in Templot (reload/ add from file... menu item) and load the .box file. Saving the downloaded file is also the best option to choose if you already have the Templot program running. Otherwise you will end up with ...
... curve it but in the center of the point, as to give the point a kick to line up as per drawing, How can I do this?? Sorry, can you explain a bit more? There are several functions to align the templates, one of the most frequently used is F6, which adjusts the curving radius. Make sure first that you have the red fixing peg at the end which you want to remain fixed. Here is a short Jing video, showing F6 in use: http://screencast.com/t /wJq5q8ShPc (I can't put captions in Jing, so I've used the screen keyboard to show key presses.) regards, Martin. posted: 9 Dec 2007 03:19 from: Stuart Mitchell Martin, Thanks for your reply. I'm working on Bodmin General with a scan images. Where the point leads from the main to the goods shed and cattle pens the are some very complex curves (we for me) to try and do in templot. As you can see from the image that there are ...

But here is a locomotive running round your layout. The Jing video may take a few seconds to start while downloading: http://screencast.com/t /eOBwsQZVzs The video is a bit jerky, the view on your own screen is smoother, although the OpenGL 3D rendering is never going to rival the best quality rendering in high-end CAD packages. This is just the barest bones of 3rd PlanIt -- you can work it up to a full layout design with buildings and scenery. I will try to find some old files and post them. Using the native track (Peco etc.) in 3rd PlanIt you can operate points, shunt sidings, ...

... : I hope this is the right section for this question, I have built a 4 point complex unfortunately half has fallen below the 0 grid line, how can I shift the grids down to include the other half of the point complex please. Hi John, I have made a couple of quick Jing videos, using version 074b. You can either move the page origin down, so that your tracks are included in the printed pages (SHIFT+ CTRL+ F10 mouse action), like this: http://screencast.com/t /rXVns2P19I3 Or you can move your tracks up into the positive quadrant on the grid, like this: http://screencast.com/t /OVC9cDQbGv8 For that, instead of pressing SHIFT+ CTRL+ F7, you can just press the\ backslash key if you prefer. (And/ forward slash to rotate a group of templates). regards, Martin. posted: 4 Apr 2008 16:56 from: Hayfield Martin Thanks posted: 4 Apr 2008 21:14 from: Martin Wynne Hayfield wrote ...
... much more likely that such turnouts would have 11ft-0in switches. You already have a stored template with that size of switch, so it's easy to use it instead. I have made a bit of Jing video showing what I mean. I first changed the switch to 11ft-0in, then blanked off the switch front, then I snaked the point tips clear of the check rails. Then you can make a new branch track and link it in to the existing tracks. Here's the video: http://screencast.com/t /2J5DzIzv regards, Martin. posted: 12 Jul 2009 01:50 from: BruceNordstrand Nigel Brown wrote: Bruce Just had a quick go. This may not be the expert way of doing it, but I think gets towards what you want. For the RH turnout, stick the peg on MXP then stick the notch on it, then Store& Background. For the LH turnout, stick the peg on IGTP then do a Move Peg onto Notch. For even greater overlap, use MCP instead of ...
... . 4. click OK. It's similar in other versions of Windows. Search for "Folder Options". regards, Martin. posted: 2 Jan 2014 01:54 from: Martin Wynne Hi Max, Here are two videos. I'm sorry they are scruffy Jing videos. Creating proper edited videos is just too time-consuming. They may take a few seconds to download before they will play. This first video shows how to create two templates, and then save them to a .box file: http://screencast.com/t /qIXcx5DTkDLk This second video shows the templates being reloaded from that file in the next Templot session: http://screencast.com/t /L1fmgMTEIqt This is Templot at its most basic. There are lots of other options -- saving groups, renaming the templates, accessing your files via the storage box, etc. I made only a few template settings to save time in the video. Obviously in practice you would likely make a lot more, or arrange the templates into a track plan. Does it ...
... 2 scissors, with the V-crossings for the diamond in extended crossing entry-straights on the turnouts. That produces a regular diamond with all its crossings of the same angle. To do that, start by extending the entry-straight on the first turnout. You can do that by mouse action in version 091c, which makes it much easier to see what you are doing and keep an eye on the radius. There is a bit of Jing video showing that mouse action in use at: http://screencast.com/t /q8zBFC9z and some notes about it at: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p =398910#p398910 regards, Martin. posted: 22 Sep 2008 19:50 from: Stumpytrain Hi Martin, I've always considered myself to be disadvantaged compared to some prototype modellers in that I don't have many period photographs. But when I think about it I've actually managed to collect quite a few! It's a shame they were more interested in the locomotives and not the trackwork! Your method for creating ...

... etc. storage is cheap. The main plea is so I can watch the videos on various iThingys of course. Hi Dave, I do have an account on ScreenCast, with lots of short Jing videos from Templot Club. Like all the other videos they are a bit out of date, and need captioning (they are scruff videos created in reply to specific questions on here). They were created in Flash format, but ScreenCast may deliver them in other formats. Do they work on iThings? http://screencast.com/users/martin_wynne/folders/Jing Strangely the latest on there is from 2010, and I'm sure I have uploaded Jing videos since then. edit: I seem to have another account with more recent Jing videos at: http://www.screencast.com/users/MartinWynne/folders/Jing The whole lot needs sorting out and captioning. The only way I can find it what they are about is to play them, or search for the video URL on Templot Club. Martin. Last edited on 27 Mar 2015 ...

... :31 by DaveJ61 posted: 4 Oct 2014 11:19 from: Martin Wynne Hi Dave, I think you must have pressed INSERT/ store and background at some stage. So long as you keep using functions which contain the word "make" there is no need to do that. Here is a bit of Jing video showing that I didn't do any storing myself while using the "make" functions: It may take a few seconds to load. If you can't see it, click: http://screencast.com/t /aY3laFN6IEdP If you have stored the first template, start the sequence with delete to the control. You can then continue using "make" without creating any duplicates. regards, Martin. posted: 4 Oct 2014 13:09 from: DaveJ61 Aha, that makes sense. Thanks Martin.
