Edit a Helix created with Smart Insert

[Andre67]

Hi,

I am learning RailModeller Pro at the moment and found the Smart Insert button. I selected a Helix with 3 loops and placed on on the baseboard.
But now I want to 'edit' this helix by adding a piece of straight tracks in the loops so that one loop is a longer track and so creating less grade per loop.

1. How can I do that?
2. Also I haven't found out yet how I can select a piece of track halfway the helix (so somewhere in loop 2 for example).

I hope someone can help me

regards,

Hi André,

The Helix Assistant helps you add the sequence of tracks that forms a helix to your layout. Once placed, these become regular track sections that you can edit just like any other tracks in your layout. That is you can:

• Modify individual tracks of the helix as needed, or
• Delete the entire helix (e.g. using Undo) and use the Helix Assistant again with different parameters

As you work in the Helix Assistant, its preview window also shows detailed information for the resulting helix based on your parameters before inserting the track helix into your layout.
