Friends, I have got in a muddle again, and this heat isn't helping.
I was in the middle of some new timbering options for short-angle diamond-crossings when I got distracted back into the 3-D exports. Now I can't remember where I had got to or what I had in mind to do next. If I try to get back into that I shall lose track of all the new stuff in the 3-D exports before I've released it.
So later tonight I am going to release version 228a exactly as-is now. If it turns out to contain bugs and non-working bits, I'm very sorry.
You will be able to create crossings down to 1:0.5 but only for the geometry -- the crossing angles and locations. Below 1:1.5 the timbering will be all over the place and you will need to do some timber shoving to create a usable template. Also at very short angles Templot switches from curviform V-crossings to generic to avoid maths exceptions. When I have got back into it I will explain it properly, but for the present there is a lot of explaining to do for the 3-D exports and 3-D printing, and I doubt I can do both at once.
If this reads as if I haven't the faintest idea what's going on in my own head, you will be right.
I've already had one boiled egg today, but I think I need another. Then I will get on with preparing the 228a release.
cheers,
Martin.
