I have tried several times to make a 3D dxf file of my track to bring into Sketchup, but it seems I am missing a trick in the export/render settings because I keep getting tabs at the ends of the sleepers. These match the extended lines you get on the sleepers when printing out a template to construct track work, where they are quite useful. However they do nothing for the look in a 3D rendering.
I also have AutoCAD, and can see the extended sleeper guides there too, so I know it must be something I need to change in Templot in order to remove them.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing or where I have got wrong.

I have attached a DXF file showing the problem

Regards Keith

Hi Keith,

In the generator menu:

1. untick outline extension marks menu item.

2. click rebuild all background menu item.

and export the DXF again. :)

regards,

Martin.

Sincere thanks Martin
I wasn't rebuilding after making a change (DOH!)

I also now realise that when you do this it also changes the view of the templates in Templot.

Time to offer profuse apologies, put the laptop down, and relax with a glass of wine!

Keith

p.s. Keith,

I see your download contains a symmetrical Y-turnout. These are now much easier to do, see:

 topic 2768

No need for apologies, that's what Templot Club is here for. :)

Martin.
