Hi Martin,
Using 236a I managed to produce a raft containing a B7 switch set of chairs, so thank you for this update.
I first created a background shape (for the raft) that was slightly smaller than an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro build plate split in half lengthwise.
Then created a P4, B7 turnout to sit on this with an approach length of zero and reduced the length so that it fitted within the "raft" shape.
I then used your new option for 2-part chairs to switch off both switch rail parts of the chairs. I then saved to background.
Then on the control template, I used "shove timbers" to omit all the timbers apart from the timbers containing the 2-part chairs.
Then I used your new option for 2-part chairs to tick the crossing rail chairs option & untick the stock rail chairs option.
So far so good. The plan was to then create two more partial templates, one for the Main Line crossing chairs and one for the Turnout Side crossing chairs.
Starting from this position:-
I sected real> rails> omit rails & then tried unticking turnot-road crossing rail to remove the turnout road partial chairs and the rail was omitted but the chairs remained:-
So then I deduced that the partial chairs actually belonged to the stock rail, so I ticked turnout-road crossing rail, but then unticked main-road stock rail and voila acheived the desired result:-
Is this a feature or a bug, and if a bug, then I found the work-around?
I then moved the template up so that when saved there would be separation between the two halves of the partial chairs.
Then repeated but the opposite way round for the main-road crossing rail & saved to achieve my desired 3 partial templates.
I have attcahed the box file, shape file & the fixed .STL
I have not tried printing the result yet as my Mars 2 Pro is still in its box unfortunately, still trying to work out where I can locate it & keep senior management happy!
Regards Steve
