TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

This is an advance warning.

In the next program update 227a I shall be removing the compatibility with BOX files saved prior to version 071a of 27th April 2001. That's 20 years ago.

They will still load, but any shoved-timber data in them will be lost. You may remember that in those days there was a limit of 30 shoved timbers maximum on any given template.

If you still have any 20-year-old BOX files which you want to use (and which contain shoved timbers) please load them into the current version of Templot now and re-save them. You won't be able to do this in 227a.

As far as I can recall this is the first time in the history of Templot that any compatibility with legacy files has been lost, but nothing lasts for ever. :)

cheers,

Martin.
