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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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.

Code formatting

Quick reply >
I was reviewing the messages from the old Templot Club, and read through the "Code Formatting" topic.

I agree with Graeme that setting a standard that can be applied automatically is important (exactly what the standard is is less important :) ).

If we get a repository set up, I would suggest that after the initial commit of the existing code the first action taken should be a bulk reformat of the code to the new standard, and then commit that so everyone that wants to work on the code has that as a base.

Regards,
Alistair Ward.

Hi Alistair,

The problem there is that I just know that my preference will be the exact opposite of everyone else's. :(

After that previous discussion with Graeme I decided that I was not going to change my way of doing things, my brain is now too old and set in its ways. I make enough silly mistakes these days, without trying to conform with someone else's idea of how it should be done.

But I'm happy for anything I write to be run through a re-formatter if others require it.

cheers,

Martin.
