Baseboard size

[RailModeller Support]

Hi there,

the Using Baseboards section in the manual covers creating and editing baseboard.

Basically baseboards are manipulated with tools (like other elements in the app).
All the baseboard editing tools are available when selecting the baseboard layer.

The Baseboard Tools section linked from the baseboards section explains in more details what each of the tools can be used for, e.g. manipulating board position, individual corner points or borders, ..

Any specific questions please feel free to ask and we're happy to help!

Cheers,
Jan

Thank you. I managed to figure out the tools in the tool bar, but I missed the part about double clicking to manipulate the corner points. I think I have it now.

Interestingly, I am at the same stage and experiencing the same uncertainty! I am also unable to alter the dimensions in the relevant box. So any help much appreciated.

Please elaborate?
A screenshot might help.

For the most part I have the baseboard sizing, dimensioning, shapes figured out. Here is the question: can the shape have a "hole" in it? Let's say for an access area or for running the layout from within. I have not been able to figure out a way to "cut" a hole in the baseboard. My only thought is that I would have to make two baseboards, each a "C" shape and modify as needed.

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.

Hope this helps,
Jan
