Hi Martin, I recently bought the latest version of Templot from you at 85A Models (v:0.74.b). May I first of all say what a good program it is. The only thing is I can't seem to find out how I can get a template for a formation such as a double slip or possibly a scissors crossover. Maybe I am trying to run before I can walk!, can you give me any help, I model in 'O' gauge. Yours hoping Roger C |

Hi Roger, Thanks for your kind words.  Formations such as slips and tandem turnouts are created by overlaying partial templates: slip_road.png  In this way you can create such formations in great variety of different sizes, angles, aligned into curved track, etc. As explained in my order confirmation letter, when you are ready to try such designs it is better to upgrade to the Pug version 091c of Templot. This fully supports half-diamond templates and has additional provision for slip roads and slip switches. And a great many other additional features. Full details of 091c are at: message 1849 There is a downloadable video showing how to create a single slip: http://www.templot.com/martweb/videos/single_slip_straight.exe You can stop and start the video by pressing the space bar on the keyboard, and drag the slider to find a specific frame. This allows you to copy the actions shown as you work through the video. To create a double slip you would simply repeat the actions to add a second slip road. The slip in the video is straight, but everything works exactly the same if you start off with curved track to create a curved slip. The full list of Templot videos is at: http://www.templot.com/martweb/video_list.htm regards, Martin. |
