Hi Martin,@Phil G
Another day, yet more boxes:
View attachment 8498
View attachment 8497
And the result is slider ribs between switch timbers S1 and S2, and between S3 and S4:
View attachment 8496
You can have up to 5 sets of switch slider ribs, for long switches which need more than one drive (tie-bars and/or prototype stretcher bars/rods).
Enter the first timber number in the boxes, and the ribs will appear between that timber and the next one. Leave blank if not wanted.
You could add the ribs to any timbers, not only switch timbers -- but I can't see any likely need for that.
Switch timbers count S1, S2, ... from the toe timber (the one with the blade tips and soleplate). To see all the timber numbers, start the shove timbers function.
More about the switch slider ribs at:

Will be in 244a shortly.
cheers,
Martin.
just a quick question re 2nd or 3rd tie-bar/stretcher bars/rods
is there anyway this can shown as per the 1st tie bar may be separately switch on or off and therefore only visible in the control template if required?
Failing that what would be the best way to have a representation of exactly where the third tie-bar should go, assuming there is a third bar. The second bar being quite simply in the next pair of timbers behind the first tie bar which is represented in the control template.
cheers
Phil
