I've come across what might be a snag in the algorithm for rolling rail-joints along a series of templates (or else I'm doing something wrongly!). If a section of plain track is made up of a series of templates of differing curves / transitions / whatever, and one of them is a very short fill-in, the joints don't roll across the short length properly. What seems to happen is that if the rolled-in length is longer than the template, ie the template is too short to contain any rail-joints, it is ignored; consequently the next template along has no information about how much to "roll-in" so it starts again, leaving you with an odd length in the middle. Regards Chris |

Hi Chris, Many thanks for reporting this bug. Sorry about that. I will get it fixed. For a workaround in the meantime you can manually roll the rails (CTRL+F4 mouse action) on the current/control template until the N sleeper numbering forms a correct number sequence across the boundary. To do this you will need the timber numbering turned on: For the current/control template: pad > pad options for the control template > show timber numbers menu item. For background templates: pad > pad background options > pad background templates detail... menu item, and tick the timber numbering box. Another possible workaround is to combine the short template with its neighbour into a single template, by means of a zero-length transition curve located at the boundary. regards, Martin. |

Thanks Martin - it worked...... All I need now is to fix the diamond crossing problem (see the chat forum)...... Regards Chris |
