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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

OK I give up, where has the convert group function gone? I haven't been able to find it in any logical (to me) location.

Hi Stephen,

Still where it has always been. :) (Templot needs to know which gauge to convert to):

Hi,
Had forgotten, it seemed logical to me that if it was a group function it would have been with the rest of the group functions.

Hi Stephen,

But then how would Templot know which gauge to convert to?

I will add a menu item in the group menu linking to the gauge list in the next program update:

Thanks,
Now all we need is the ability for Templot to cope with the changing a group between standards and for it not to need any extra work. Yes I know, difficult if not impossible and probably not even worth trying to.
