Hi,
I am following a prototype track plan and in the yard area, there are 2 points close together, which I am having trouble emulating in Templot.
Essentially from the tip of the first V to the fishplate joining the points there are 4 timbers (inclusive) and then from the fishplate to the tip of the 2nd points' switches there are only 2 timbers (inclusive) - see image for clarification 3186_131253_560000000.jpg3186_131253_560000000.jpg
The (to me) only obvious options of amending the entrance and exit lengths only allow you to go down to the default values, so I'm guessing there's some other magic I am missing?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

There is a recent video on this subject. :)

Click the help > watch a video > switch close behind V-crossing menu item, and see this topic:

 topic 2928

The video is also available online (in poorer image quality) at:

Martin,

As ever, excellent and timely tuition on how to resolve the issue. I will go and have a play.

The only issue I have is that the video would not play within Templot, I got the following error - "'C:\Program' is not a FBR file"

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Where did you install Templot on your system?

By default it installs in C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\ folder.

You can install it anywhere else you like, including on a USB stick which you can transfer from one computer to another at will.

But NOT, please NOT, in the Windows C:\Program Files\ folders.

There is a note about this at:

 http://templot.com/downloads/download_previous.htm

If that is not what you did, apologies. In which case I need to investigate further. Which version of Windows are you using? Are you using CrossOver/Wine on Linux or Mac?

regards,

Martin.

Martin,
Mea Culpa, it was indeed installed in Program Files.... Now moved to recommended location and embedded video works fine

Hi Chris,

Mea culpa too. There should have been a note on the installer dialog. I have now added it for the next program update:
