Tunnels - and flexitrack

I´m using Marklin k-track, and the flexi track is one of my favourite tracks. But when it comes to adding tunnels I can´t add the tunnel portal excactly where I want it; it´s either at the beginning or the end of the flex track. Any remedy?

Cheers!

Unfortunately it's limited to track start/end at this point..

Enabling tunnel sections to start anywhere within a track is on the to-do list, though - and there's also an open feature request:

Hope this helps,

TY !

When you go about to code for tunnel portals placed at will, would it also be possible to select larger "chuncks" of tracks to be within hidden view in one fell swoop? i.e. "schattenbahnhof"

Actually you can mark any number of tracks as tunnel tracks already with the Element > Tunnel Section > Mark Tunnel Section (applied to the current selection of tracks).

The same menu also offers other handy operations such as removing all tunnel sections or just for the current selection!

Hope this helps,

What I do in these situations is that I use the cut tool and cut the flex track (2005) and insert the tunnel there. Afterwards I just add another flex track (2005) in the missing space. Of course it gives me the wrong number of flex tracks used butI think it works well as a workaround.
