I have placed several curved sections of track and would like to move the entire radius from one spot on the grid to another. How do I do this?

I have been able to highlight the entire curved sections but that only allows me to pivot around in a circle.

Thanks,
Brian.

Hi Brian,

You can triple-click on any of the tracks or use the 'Select' menu to select all connected tracks.

You can then either drag to move the elements using the mouse or enter the desired position directly into the Element Properties area in the sidebar to the right.
Hope this helps,
Jan

The "drag or move" you are talking about doesn't seem to work. I highlight the track that I want, chose Select Connecting Elements, but when I try to drag it to a new location the box just disappears. I am using a MAC Book Pro (2012) with a touch pad.

Hi Brian,

To drag an item, select it, then hold down the mouse or trackpad button while you drag it to a new location. Release the button to drop the item into place.

Cheers,
Jan

Nope. It doesn't work.

After I have selected it (a box is drawn around it) I hold down the track pad and the box disappears. I can move a single piece of track but not connected pieces. Is there a way to move connected pieces as a single unit?

Got -it!!! The secret is; after the section(s) is highlighted, one MUST click and hold on the track piece itself. Then the move can happen. If one just clicks and holds in the highlighted square, then the highlighted area disappears.

Thank you for your help,
