Or a return loop, like this: 2_080731_090000000.png There is a very old video showing how to create that at: http://templot.com/martweb/return_loop.exe Sorry it is so old, if you have problems following it please ask again. regards, Martin. |

Hi Peter, Sorry, our posts crossed. The usual way to create a turntable is to use a dummy plain track template. Set it to geometry > centre-lines only (dummy) menu option. Then curve it to the required radius* for the turntable ring. geometry > radius and curving... menu item. To run the tracks across it, use geometry > peg positions >peg on mid-length. You can then use F8 mouse action to rotate it, and store (INSERT key) as many tracks as you need as you go round. *radius is half of the diameter -- turntables are normally specified by their diameter. regards, Martin. |
