Hi All I find that the Roll Rails function in Templot is useful to adjust rail joints across adjacent templates to maintain consistent sleeper spacing. However I do find that current display of Percentage rolled in, is not quite as informative as it may be. Let's set up a simple example. I have plain track template A with 11 sleepers, and track template B with 13 sleepers. I am using 18 rail sections of 18 sleepers in length. So I using Roll Rails I can adjust template A (roll in 7 sleepers) to maintain 18 sleepers between the templates. Two issues arise, the display being in percentage is one, but maintaining the correct distance between the last sleeper in template A and the first sleeper in template B May I suggest, that the following are considered: 1) The display is changed to number of sleepers rolled in rather than a percentage 2) An option to roll in a specified number of sleepers 3) The ultimate choice, a function which will auto adjust rail lengths over a selection of templates (maybe as an extension of group tempates?) Cheers Phil |

Hi Phil, I think you are missing a function which already exists.  It's seldom necessary to refer to the rolled-in and rolled-out data directly: roll_rails1.png  roll_rails2.png  Full details of how to do this: http://www.templot.com/martweb/pug_info_2.htm Scroll down to new roll rails functions and click the info icon or the blue dots. regards, Martin. |
