Hello Arno, You control the gradient as it's part of the parameters you enter when creating a grade to a track. For full control of the grade over the entire range of the track section you can also use the Grade a Track Section for a contiguous section of tracks. The manual goes into much more detai...

can the shape have a "hole" in it? No, but you can use multiple baseboards to model this (plain rectangles on each side, a U plus a single rectangle shaped 'access' baseboard, two L shapes, ..) There are multiple user submitted layouts in the Community Layouts browser demonstrating this. ...

Hi there,

Great to hear you like our track planning app!

RailModeller Pro and RailModeller Express are available exclusively on macOS.
Unfortunately, there is no interchangeable file format for track planning apps.

Thanks,.
Jan

Unfortunately the Minitrix track system isn't perfectly designed by the manufacturer when it comes to the curved turnouts. We are planning to add features in upcoming updates to help with small gaps or slightly misaligned tracks in the app that usually can't be noticed when building the real layout ...

Hi Friso,

might be easiest if you could just post an image (a screenshot of the figure, e.g. via Shift, Command, and 4) of the configuration?

Cheers,

so the term invert doesn't actually mean invert. it just unselects what is selected. Not quite - it inverts the selection as described above by selecting and unselecting elements. To simply unselect elements the Select > Deselect menu command can be used. so is there any way i can flip the track 18...

I am seeing designs with gradients up to 30% - am I missing somthing Hi Nick - you can configure how grades are displayed to you by the app as there are strong regional preferences. You can choose between percent, per mille, and ratio in the app's preferences: Per Mille : units of height change per...

Hi Jason,

the Select > Invert menu command inverts the current selection, i.e.

• Selected elements are deselected,
• Unselected elements are selected (assuming the hosting layer is unlocked and visible)

Cheers,
Jan

The free RailModeller Express track planning app for macOS has been updated to version 6.4.9 improving the drag-to-connect functionality for flex tracks snapping to close, unconnected joints of tracks in the layout and automatically calculating a shape appropriate for connecting to the other track. ...

Hi Scott - The 36" Super-Flex Track (Atlas H0 Code 100 article number 168) has a length of 36" so at the default 45º arc angle - that is applied when first bending a flex track to a parametric curve - the maximum radius is 45.8" before exceeding the track length. The app autocorrects...

Is there anyway of adding in the cost per metre and have the program calculate the overall cost based on the combined length used? You can enter the price for the flex track article in the Part List and have the app calculate the total. Adding up the combined track length for a specific flex track ...

Ich würde gerne Elemente am Raster ausrichten, also dort "fangen" lassen. Wie macht man das? Dazu müsste auch das Raster konfigurierbar sein - ist es das? Ich habe nichts gefunden. Im Bereich Dokument in der Seitenleiste rechts können globale Eigenschaften des Gleisplans bearbeitet und...

Hi Mike, The flex connect function looks at both tracks to be joined; If the tracks are mostly parallel (and a connection is possible) they're connected with an ess curve (flex with 4 control points) Flex connect parallel.jpg If the tracks can be joined with some curved shape - the imagined extensio...

Hi Tim, apologies for a newbie asking 2 daft laddie questions/issues. I'm trying to begin my first layout design using this software. No worries! Does a baseboard "behave" the same way as a layer in this software? Is it necessary to add a baseboard to the draft, or can you just work with a...
