I've done the irregular crossing but the timbers need moving but I'm not sure how, any help would be great. I've included a file to help.

Hi Len,

Do you mean you don't know how the finished timbers should look, or you don't know how to move them?

If the latter, go to real > shove timbers menu item. Then click the ? help button on the dialog window, there are some detailed notes there.

regards,

Martin.

I have now done the Timbers for this crossing using the advise in the Timbering Guidance Needed posts. I have added a file attachment so that you can see what I did. Not to sure if this is correct perhaps some-body can advise me.

Hi Len,

That looks good. :thumb:

Where you have the long timbers end to end I think you could use a longer single timber, as the short pieces aren't in chair-critical positions. Or model them as a single timber with a dummy halved joint somewhere.

Alternatively I think most of the short pieces could be replaced with plain sleepers, interleaved between the timber ends.

regards,

Martin.

I have now remodelled the timbers using single timbers instead of wide ones and interleaved the short pieces between the timber ends as you suggested Martin. What do you think?
Regards

Len
