... JFS wrote: Do you have a CAD program that does basic 3D? (the freebie ProgeCAD will do) You can export your Templot as a 3D DXF and view it from all angles- very helpful when comparing to photos. It saves a lot of this tweaking stuff (which can be a bit stressful...)! Hi Howard, Richard, I suggest 3rd PlanIt for that: topic 2297- message 15275 You can view 3D DXF in the free demo version. You don't have to add the trains: hc_3pi_9.jpg fremington_3d1.png fremington_3d2.png fremington_3d5.png A 100-second video of the above is available for downloading. It's in the usual Templot executable format, but to keep the file size down the frame rate is slower than usual. You can safely open it and ignore any warnings. Press the spacebar to start and stop the playback. (30MB so broadband only, Windows or Linux* only.) Click to download: Fremington 3D video (* on Linux, change the file extension to .zip, and then extract the .avi file. It ...

2. 3D view?

... , add mock-up buildings and scenic effects, and "walk-through" your planned layout on the screen. And to a limited extent train simulations can be run over these Templot tracks on-screen in 3rd PlanIt. 3rd PlanIt (3PI) is developed by Randy Pfeiffer -- see http://www.trackplanning.com A free demo version is available -- download from: http://www.trackplanning.com/download.htm This screenshot view shows the approach tracks to Hopton Clee. These are tracks from Templot using GWR switches: hc_3pi_9.jpg The turnouts are laid out on a sweeping transition curve. 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 ...

3. XTrackCAD and Templot

... origin, and then shifting the turnout onto the notch. or b) allow users of XTrackCAD to import Templot data directly into their designs? or c) something else? For importing Templot files into XTrackCAD I can't find any file-format information for the XTrackCAD File> Import function? You might like to look at the similar functions available in 3rd PlanIt, via the DXF export from Templot. For example these are tracks exported from Templot, and to a limited extent trains can be run over them in 3D simulations: hc_3pi_9.jpg More about all this, and some download files to play with, at: topic 2297- message 15275 topic 2297- message 15298 http://templot.com/3pi/dxf_3d_hc_3pi.htm http://templot.com/3pi/dxf_3d_3pi_3d_controls.htm PS- You may have overlooked my observation about the real track work page link being invalid on the site, perhaps? You have caught me at a difficult time in the middle of a re-vamp to the web site and docs. Everything will reappear on the new Templot Companion site over ...
