Hi, No matter what I do I cannot seem to alter the flangeway widths for groups. Of course works OK for individual templates. Have I found a problem or am I just missing something? |

Have I found a problem or am I just missing something?Hi Stephen, You can do it by creating a custom gauge/scale setting, and then using the convert group button, on the gauge/scale selector dialog. As always with this function, template alignments may be disrupted. The gauge/scale selector dialog is at gauge > other gauges... menu item. There isn't a simple way of doing it because it's not simple. For turnouts having regular type V-crossings with auto-fit entry straight (the Templot default), changing the flangeway gap changes the crossing entry straight and hence the turnout lead length. Template alignments can therefore be disrupted. To avoid this, before changing the flangeway gap on a regular template which is part of a track plan, go to real > V-crossing options > V-crossing settings... menu item*, and change from auto-fit to the fixed at... option. *or template > V-crossing settings... menu item. (For turnouts having generic or curviform type V-crossings, there is no entry straight and changing the flangeway gap has no effect on the template alignments.) regards, Martin. |
