E.g. "Return Loop" which shows one template sloping to the right and just the outline of a track. The other object looks like the center lines of two parallel tracks.

What are the informational menus for these two objects so I can follow the tutorial?

Hi Nicholas,

Start with generator > use skeleton settings menu item. This shows the tracks as rail gauge lines and centre-lines only.

Do this before you create the templates, or click generator > rebuild all background afterwards.

Sorry the video didn't explain this, it all works exactly the same if you don't make that change. I did it simply to reduce the download file size of the video.

The tracks appear as solid lines because the pad is zoomed out a long way.

The blue tracks are two background templates, forming double track. The video creates a return loop linking them together.

The black/white track with the red fixing peg is the control template. It can be anywhere to start.

regards,

Martin.
