You can only do this in the direction away from the timber numbering.  This can be awkward if this is the direction you want to go (for instance to make a crossing timber extending over to the next track), especially if the adjacent track template also prevents you extending its sleepers in the other direction for the same reason.

Is there a way round this?

Hi Rod,

Sure. :) Hold down the SHIFT key while you click the lengthen button. Ditto for shortening.

This doesn't work when using the mouse actions for timber length, but in that case you can throw the timber first and then set the length afterwards.

Ideally you use the buttons (or the L and S accelerator keys on them) for these adjustments so that you maintain the standard 6" increments in timber length sizes. The keys are faster.

regards,

Martin.
