Hi Martin,
I have encounter a problem which to be honest is likely because I lack the skill to do it correctly.
The issue is on my Scissors for HN I am finding as much I might I can't get the bottom rails of the half diamond ( 7 DR517 to truly intersect with the turnout rails of 6 DL 516) they are close but not quite right. the closeup photos shows this. If I was building this scissors the old fashioned way I would say what I have is close enough to print and create the scissors, any errors being resolved as the rails are solder in place.
For plug track I am not sure its accurate enough. So I though I would ask for your input before wasting time making everything only to find out its not good enough.
In the first screen shot I am showing the area of concern, the second one is close up. I have also attached the box file. if its not good enough could you perhaps point in the right direction to fixing this Issue? To be totally honest its already a bit of compromise because no matter how hard I try I could not get the 4 tie bars to be in the right place on the underlaying map and still create space for the diamond to fit in, without the checkrails being in the way of the K crossings.
By the way I have no idea why 6-TL516 is coloured red. it's not grouped, it was a group as I did group it to to 5-TL511 to slide them both along a bit, but when ungrouping this one stayed red. This is not an issue more of curiosity as I have even seen that happen before.
cheers
