As a new user of Templot I am trying to produce a template for a 3-way turnout.  I have seen the very helpful video but unfortunately cannot attain the start-up drawing-pad as featured - ie with the 2 turnouts (one an A7!) without the sleepering in the switch rails areas. I apologise if I have overlooked something basic but despite several excursions through the various menus cannot resolve this one.

Very pleased with the whole product though - many thanks for all your hard work in its design.

Yours,

Graham Astill

Hi Graham,

Thanks for your kind words.

The closure timbers are omitted using the shove timber functions. Here is a quick Jing video showing how to do that:

When overlaying partial templates, it is best to retain the switch timbering with each switch, and likewise the V-crossing timbering with each V-crossing. This ensures that the special chairs will fit the rails in the proper places. The remaining timbering with plain chairs can be omitted while making the adjustments, and re-instated later as and where still needed.

The fastest way to use the shove timber functions is via the accelerator keys on the keyboard, as shown in the video. All the buttons have an underlined key which you can use instead of clicking the buttons. (If you don't see the underlines, press ALT.)

The video was made using Templot version 082d. If you haven't yet upgraded, I recommend that you do so before trying to follow the video.

regards,

Martin.
