We're using the track specifications as published by the manufacturers. However, some manufacturers cheat when it comes to their track system and/or geometry examples. Unfortunately Fleischmann is particularly notorious in this regard. Due to flexible track connections this usually isn't noticed whe...

Hi Sheldon,

the upcoming version 6.3 just entered the public beta phase today and includes an inspector for generic bumpers where the type of bumper (e.g. classic bracket or Hayes) as well as the position inside the track can be adjusted!

Hope this helps,
Jan

The upcoming version 6.3 just went into the public beta phase and - all going well - should be available in the Mac App Store in a couple of days!

All the best,

The problem seems to be the image resolution. One thing to look out for is the file size of your layout (either via Document > Layout Info or in the Finder). When editing the layout macOS will frequently create backups of the document and depending on the speed of the Mac and in particular the disk...

Hi Sheldon,

best to get in touch with support (Help > Send Email to Support) and include the layout in question so we can have a look!

Cheers,

Got it! So according to https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10147590 the Unitrack HV4 set (#3-114) includes No. 6 electric points (left) × 2, S94 × 2 auxiliary straight line, S149 × 2 straight lines I've recreated the set in RailModeller Pro according to this description and it looks good: Screenshot 2020-09...

Hi there!

Kato Unitrack HV4 looks like a set of individual tracks -
do you have the individual part numbers of the articles in the set?

Cheers,

FWIW..
We're currently in touch with the manufacturer to get our hands on the specs for Ferro-Flex 0m (also marketed as Bemo Om by BEMO) tracks.

Thanks for the feedback! Sometimes I cannot add track to a selected piece of track I just added. It highlights as if it will be added, but it doesn't add when clicked. I have to click in empty space to deselect in order to add track. If this is reproducible it would be great if you could get in touc...

Thanks for the heads-up, the FasTrack wye does indeed look too short in the track library.
It will be fixed for the next update - sorry for the inconvenience!

All the best,
Jan

Have you tried the Highlight Unconnected Joints option in the Display Settings area of the side bar? We're also working on an option to display the cause why tracks are not connected, i.e. heights don't match or the distance is too large. More details are also in the Display Settings section in the ...

Hello John, No worries - Editing an element will literally edit the shape, e.g. change the size of a rectangle or circle, the shape of a flex track of move individual points in a line/polygon. This is not required for just moving or rotating an element. When Editing (via double-click or the Element ...

There are pre-5.x threads that suggest that direct manipulation of shapes (resize, move...) is possible - but in 5.6.2 it still is not possible to resize a rectangle/square by dragging its corners - or to move it using the mouse. Actually that's always been possible: You can edit the element (doubl...

Hi Dave, At this point the entire document is printed, however there's an open to-do item to enable printing of just a section of the layout. (..there's also an open feature request for commenting/voting at https://bit.ly/3i3La8d) We're looking into addressing this in a future update! In order to pr...

JMRI is unit agnostic so at this point we're using a fixed zoom factor (cm or inch as 1 base unit) to ' shrink ' the RailModeller Pro layout - mainly to work around a bug in JMRI with large layout sizes. You can always change the settings in the generated XML in JMRI. We're also adding more export o...
