Hello Michal,

We don't currently support slot car borders as these would need to 'snap' sideways to tracks.
As this is a specialty of slot car tracks (who represent a very small percentage of our user base) snapping is for now only possible between two tracks.

Hope this helps,
Jan

Scalextric borders seem to be in there, though.

Hi Jan,

Would it be possible to only add borders without snapping between track and borders? You could snap two borders, but not them to the track. I would be useful. And then, maybe in the future, to allow fully snapping. As long as they do not count for total length :)

Cheers,
Michal

We could just add the border segments as tracks though they'd have the same width as regular tracks - and would snap to them.
Being tracks they'd also be part of the length calculation..

Cheers,
Jan

Thank you for the answer. I think adding them to length count its not a good idea :( Let us wait for other slot car guys/*** to comment.
