I wish that Templot had a menu under 'make transition curve..' that is 'make diamond crossing from the control template'.  I've been struggling with trying to get a diamond crossing to fit a similar situation to that shown and I can't.  Since it's only for the fiddle yard I've decided to leave it as is and draw the Vees etc in by hand when it comes to making that section of track.  But I've also been trying to draw a double junction for the Picton project which lies almost in the middle for the scenic section so it would be really useful for that.

Hi Richard,

You can't automatically make a diamond like like this in Templot as it is "irregular" - that is the two roads are of differing radii.
Richard has a development in hand to create such daimonds at the touch of a mouse button, but we so far can't pursuade him to release it to his demanding public.

I hope your pressing him will tip the balance!

In the meantime, it is either draw by hand or create from partial templates.

Best Regards,

Howard.

Hi Richard,

That's an "irregular" diamond which isn't currently supported as native templates.

However, Richard T kindly posted a tutorial showing how to create one from partial templates:
