Can you post a screenshot? regards, Martin. posted: 13 Jun 2014 00:37 from: Simon Dobson Martin Thanks for your reply. Not for a few days, I'm afraid, as I'm in Poland on business, and then going to see my mum for the weekend- and of course, the problem is not on the laptop which I have with me!!

... main layout in the shed and bring it into the house to work on. Luckily for me I'm married to a pretty tolerant woman who still seems to be very fond of me despite my rather eccentric hobby. Maybe its something to do with her training as a psychotherapist, I think I'm probably an interesting case study for her...can't otherwise understand why she should put up with a bit of trainset on the end of our dining table week in week out? Anyway domestic arrangments apart, back to the layout. Here are few pictures of what Ive been describing above...if I can recall how to upload? 2787_191503_490000000.jpg This view shows the underside wiring including the servos for turnouts controlled by the Megapoints electronics which seem rather like magic to me....! 2787_191512_420000000.jpg Yeovil point rodding under construction last month. Unlike Howards point rodding mine doesn't have to work luckily, as even this non working set up took an age to do. Incidentally I used Modelu point rodding stools which really are quite exquisite models (if only I could see all the ...
... after stamping them in place. 2983_040211_300000001.png Here one chair has been selected and has been rotated and realigned with the direction of the rail by dragging the X handle and snapping it on to the rail edge. 2983_040211_310000002.png The timbers are extruded to the desired height with two mouse clicks. I have extruded one in this shot but I find it best to position all the chairs before extruding the timbers. 2983_040211_310000003.png To avoid having to make lots of different chairs for all the possible crossing angles I make the chairs at the Vee from a few sub-components. Slightly more complicated, but not much. Other than adding webs to interconnect the timbers, that's about all there is too it. I do not "add" the chairs to the timbers to make a single solid object. There is no need to do that, and if I did, it would make it much more difficult to revise a turnout design. Using blocks allows me to modify a block design and immediately apply it to every instance of that block in the turnout. Last edited on ...
... , the Aonach Eagach in snow the next, and finally a quick bit of snow climbing in Glen Etive before heading home. The other was Linn of Dee, doing a round trip of Ben Macdui via Coire Etchachan one day, which I found pretty exhausting, then teaching ourselves to ski at the Cairnwell; early days, this was 1962. Here's a pic of the club descending from Macdui towards the Sron Riach:528_011505_470000000.jpg Taken with a truly awful pre-war folding medium format camera my parents had discarded. Had a few adventures in the very extended winter of, I think, 1977, including an attempt to glissade off Y Garn, above Llyn Idwal, which got a bit hairy. Also climbed Beinn an Dothaidh above Bridge of Orchy in the snow, much more recently. That was about it for the serious stuff. Have done the occasional Glen Shiel climb, again much more recently, when my route didn't require axes or crampons. Here's a view of Sgurr nan Conbhairean from A' Chralaig: 528_011523_100000000.jpg posted: 2 Mar 2018 01 ...
... accept it doesn't suit everyone, but decision made.... The box file is attached. The back of the layout is simply four lines, so I plan to move the odd bits of the pointwork towards ET station and not show the back loops on the mimic panel, hence my 3:2 ratio. As the overall length is 5.3m, it should fit on a 600 x 400 sheet if your 1:10 scaling is correct. I've just printed off a PDF and that looks fine. I have a few questions re platforms and would appreciate some guidance. How do you infill the platform shape as a colour and I'm a bit confused with island or dual faced platforms. If I understand correctly, you open a piece of track and then choose main side or turnout side. There is a measurement from the platform edge to the track, but as far as I can see that relates to the track you are working from. How do you select the gap the other side of the platform, so that it remains a constant ...

Hi Rob, All in good time. The plan for the next few videos is to work through the remainder of the beginner buttons. 1. the other mouse actions which are unaffected by the peg position -- orbit and shift. 2. explain the basics about the fixing peg, but not the notch at this stage. Using F4 to set the length. 3. using F5 and F6 and how the red radius indicator is affected. 4. create a small bit of track plan using the remaining buttons. This will include the basic make tools, so will also need an explanation ...
... - platforms, gaunt turnouts, wrapping a picture shape along the control template, foot lines on FB templates, the dummy vehicle tool. Welcomed at the time, but since then -- silence. I can't believe they are all working so well first time that no one has anything to say about them. So I will confess that I'm a bit disappointed and wondering if I have taken a wrong turning. The sketchboard function took months of work and a considerable expense for the licence for the graphics engine. But only a few sketchboard screenshots have been posted here or on any other forums. Only a tiny handful of sketchboard SK9 files have been attached here for comment. Was I wasting my time? And if so, where to next? There are several extra functions I would like to add for my own use, but is Templot already too complicated for most users? Should I be looking at a "Lite" version where users can select pictures of A5s, B6s, etc and simply click them together? Should I provide a way to ...

Martin. posted: 15 Jul 2013 11:48 from: Fishplate42 Hi Martin, I can understand the guy's frustration. If it don't 'click' it can be a nightmare trying to understand what you are doing wrong. I paid for a licence a few years ago and after a computer upgrade have downloaded the free version. I have not used it much but am just getting to grips with it- so far so good. With other programs I have got stuck with, it always helps me if I can find someone to actually show me face to face what I need to do. It is the little things that get missed trying to do it remotely. So far I am very pleased with my progress and a slow methodical approach seems to be working for me. ...
... , ECML in the transition from steam to diesel. (Don't worry about the US stock shown in the pics!) Progress so far is here. railway1fa0.jpg railway2vp4.jpg Lower level track is all Tillig for ease of laying with all visible track being SMP flexible plus hand made points using pcb strip and code 75 bullhead rail with 1mm flangeways. I had around 50 points from a previous layout but have now learned how to build my own customised pointwork. I'm very pleased with this development as I had never built a point until a few months ago as I thought I would never have the skills to do so. Following encouragement from other members of RMWeb, I attempted my first a couple of months ago and was amazed when I was able to produce a finished article that worked! Since then, I have been well and truly hooked and have now built curved points, a double slip and two 3 way points so feel comfortable that I could build most combinations if required. I have standardised on B7 straight points, C10 curved points and 1:7 ...
... -one is paying me for any of it. Here is a run through the present state of affairs: 1. First there is the original Templot Companion web site. Mostly written 15 years ago and barely updated since, including some lengthy static tutorials. Large parts of it are now out of date, or have been overtaken subsequently by many new features and functions. But it still contains more information in one place than anywhere else: 2_031328_430000000.png It's here: http://templot.com/martweb/templot_gs.htm 2. A few years after that, I started creating the Camtasia downloadable videos. They are also mostly out of date. There is a partial list of them on this page: 2_031328_430000001.png It's here: http://templot.com/martweb/video_list.htm 3. As the old versions developed I created two long pages explaining all the additional features introduced. Those pages contain masses of information which has never been linked in anywhere else: 2_031328_430000002.png Find them here: http://templot.com/martweb/pug_info.htm 4. Separately from all that, ...

Keep up the good work as for every complainer there are ten appreciators Tom posted: 12 Mar 2015 21:34 from: D Foster One big deficiency in the hobby (and in the country) is that the so called "silent majority" of people who are happy and/or like things fail to say so. Far too many people are ready to moan and find fault while far too few people take the small amount of time to say something good. I suppose though that it is a "moan" to say that not enough people speak up in defence of anything that they think is good/useful in contradiction of the moaners. It is actually brilliant fun in the big stores to insist on seeing a manager when there is a good member of staff to be commended- it really confuses/stuns the managers- but, once they have recovered, they are usually pleased. :-) Maybe there ...
... following a plan because, although much compressed it is more or less the way the track was laid at Yeovil Pen Mill in 1922 and although 21x10 feet is a pretty generous space by my standards its still pretty cramped for the site. Iain Rice (the designer) and I almost came to blows over the minutiae of what would and wouldn't fit in, what would look too crowded or be too tight a radius, in short there are blood and tears in this plan and I'm loath to change it by more than a few mill if I don't have to. You talk of using a couple of dummy templates of fixed radius at each end of a section and then with the "make transition" function, make a curve between them. Search as I might I can't find that function? Later you refer to the Slew& Nudge function, and having read the bit on the link you sent about "swelling" I wondered if I could use that to good effect instead of Slew& Nudge to push the "up main line" out ...
... with the complex junctions east and west. As with all CJF designs, using "proper" pointwork tends to require far more space than he allowed for, and the usual advice is to increase the space available rather than to reduce it. So fitting all this in your space, and in EM too, is going to be an interesting challenge. The radii could get decidedly tight for EM. I will have a quick trial with it and see what might fit. Now that you have posted the plan I expect a few other Temploteers will have a go too! regards, Martin. posted: 24 Jun 2008 23:30 from: Martin Wynne I wrote: I will have a quick trial with it and see what might fit.

... . In addition I've been working on saving program settings between sessions. That's a can of worms if ever I've seen one. There is also a new Print Now! single click function which prints directly to the printer using the current defaults and by-passing all the preview, setup and calibration options. I have also started an interactive beginner's guide within the program itself, i.e. "click this and see what happens". I have concluded that this is the only way to get some folks started -- quite a few have freely admitted that they won't read manuals, web pages or watch videos. They expect to just dive into a program and stumble about until it all becomes clear. The chances of getting the best from Templot that way are almost nil, so I think a helping hand is the only way. But it's a big task to write. That's enough changes to be going on with. regards, Martin. posted: 5 Jul 2010 11:35 from: JFS... and you forgot to mention irregular diamonds ...
... . I think I have got somewhere near without getting too involved in 3D blends which would require dozens of additional facets. An important consideration for models is to keep it below the wheel flanges. I'm still undecided about how to blend the side of the jaw into the chair base and rail seat. I have removed the silly angled socket in the rail seat which I had previously. On the prototype it is a spherical fillet radius, but that would involve a silly amount of code. On the outer jaw I used a few simple facets instead, although I'm not convinced it looks right. It is easier to see without the rail in place: 2_241247_000000000.png This view also shows the tapered ends of the key, to ease rail threading and reduce stress on the chair. Time for a boiled egg.

... 18 months, despite my occasional reminders about it. Which leads to the obvious questions -- where next, and with what urgency? Is getting Templot3 up to speed and released as a viable alternative to Templot2 more important than further Templot2 development? For a start there is the question of the name. The name TemplotMEC seems fine for the home workbench version. But for the final release version I'm minded to change to Templot3 rather than OpenTemplot. It is after all the logical progression from Templot2. We have in the last few days made some progress on the outstanding issues: High CPU usage: A kludge solution has been found which can be lived with until a proper fix is discovered. Thank goodness -- that had been a big worry. BOX and BGS file formats: We now have a working means of data interchange between Templot2 and Templot3, which I suspect was the main reason for the lack of interest previously. Recent new functions in Templot2 missing from Templot3: With the renewed interest in Templot3 there is no reason why I shouldn't progress ...
17. File preview
... of these is straightforward, and would almost certainly have issues with different versions of Windows. Also, Windows Explorer is not available to users on Crossover/Wine on Linux and Mac computers. It would however be possible to write a "file viewer" function within Templot itself. So that you could select a folder and then have a trackpad screenshot appear alongside each file in a scrollable list, with some options to zoom in on them. It's not a 5-minute task, so before embarking on it I need a few more expressions of interest. I will put my own hand up, because I too have a large number of .box files accumulated over many years and it would be very useful. I would also find it helpful to annotate a whole Templot file by putting text notes at particular points of interest. At present you can add and edit a memo text note of any length to any template, which is then included in the file. For notes about the entire box, you could perhaps add them to the memo notes for ...
18. Index
... underwhelming response I have a couple of suggestions. 1. Why don't you highlight the existence of the Index with links at least as conspicuous as those for the searches? Hi Ken, It was and is my intention to do so. But there is little point until there is sufficient material there to make it worth visiting. Sending folks to it before then could be counter-productive, in that they might come to think of it as not worth looking at. Everything takes time. Richard posted several useful index links a few days ago, but I have not yet had time to enter them in the index, and I won't have for the next few days. Derek is waiting for a video on passing clearances. I recorded it over a week ago, but have still not found time to write the notes and prepare the web page. I have just spent half-an-hour (at 5am UK) trying to get a new order confirmation to Canada past spam filters and IP-blocks. I am going to have to set ...
... Mr Jukes has gone public in the EM Gauge Society newsletter this quarter, with a brief confirmation of his new plans for Exactoscale track range, hopefully during the transition away from C&L continued supplies will be available via the two societies. Being the owner of some of the Exactoscale products I can understand his protective attitude towards his products, and that until new arrangements are confirmed its difficult to comment on matters. What I did find surprising though was the attitude of of some of the participants on the Scaleforum thread. With few exceptions I have found the P4 modellers I have met to be exceptionally nice and helpful people. Reading some of the replies though gives the impression of a bunch of elitists.

20. Autumnal gloom
... : 17 Oct 2007 19:35 from: Martin Wynne topic started 2007 On P4_talk today Tim Shackleton (editor of Model Railway Journal) is being very gloomy: Personally I don't feel we can attract new blood in sufficient numbers to sustain the long-term survival of this hobby, and I think it would be a waste of time and energy to do so. I think (and this has been my platform all along) those already active within the hobby need to come together in a positive spirit to manage the last few meaningful years of finescale modelling in such as way that we can enjoy it in reasonable comfort and obtain the fulfilment we seek. In ten or fifteen years, max, the lights will go out on railway modelling whatever we do. I started developing Templot 28 years ago in 1979. It was first released 8 years ago in 1999. There is still a long way to go until it is finished (or at least within sight of the finishing post). Progress is now much slower than before because of the time ...
