RailModeller Pro Forum

hi guys.

new here.
i have railmodeller pro on my macbook. im building policar slot car tracks.
i select the entire track to try invert it but when you press invert nothing happens and the track unselects.

i assume i can flip the track? this is what invert is right?

cheers

Hi Jason,

the Select > Invert menu command inverts the current selection, i.e.

• Selected elements are deselected,
• Unselected elements are selected (assuming the hosting layer is unlocked and visible)

thanks

so the term invert doesn't actually mean invert. it just unselects what is selected.
a bit miss leading.

so is there any way i can flip the track 180 degrees on the sideways plane? so make what is on the left side of the layout switch to the ride side.

hope that makes sense.

Not quite - it inverts the selection as described above by selecting and unselecting elements.
To simply unselect elements the Select > Deselect menu command can be used.

You can rotate the selected track using the angle field in the inspector to the right or just apply the Element > Rotate Left (or Element > Rotate Right) command twice.
