2D/3D with actual hole.
Do hole perimeter first, then outside perimeter.
Can be done for any shape, just more complex.
Can a baseboard with track be duplicated (copied) on the same screen? I am designing a modular layout. I have designed the separate corner module and the separate straight module. Now I want to replicate (copy) them and join them to create a modular layout with 4- corners joined by 4 straight modules on each long side and 2 straight modules on each end between the corners. Can this be done?
Hello Lynn,
No, the baseboard cannot be duplicated on the same layout as there may be only one baseboard per project in SCARM for the moment.
Are you still limited to one baseboard? It’s been 3 years since the last comment and this is a basic feature that I cannot do without as I’m wanting to build a multi tier shelf layout. I really like the program but not gonna purchase it if you guy’s aren’t improving it anymore
Hello Tom,
SCARM was improved in many ways and with various new features since releasing of v. 1.0.0 five years ago. You can see the version history with all updates and improvements here: http://www.scarm.info/index.php?page=version-history
Adding and managing of multiple baseboards is a platform-changing core feature, which requires a lot of new program code to be added and other to be rewritten. This cannot be easily done in the current 1.x.x versions of the software and is scheduled for the next major v. 2.0.0.
Thanks for the quick reply Milen. I decided to go ahead buy the full version & I’ll see what changes in future updates. Is there a particular blog you would prefer us to use for suggestions and questions about various features? I have several other questions that don’t really fit under this topic
You can write your questions and ideas below each topic or you can write by e-mail if there is no specific topic for your question in the blog.
Hi Milen,
I’ve been using the program for several projects. I would like to be able to do hidden track/shadow stations. To enable this, could you allow track to be placed at negative heights? This track would then be below the baseboard and visible with the terrain turned on. Currently you need to display terrain as wireframe to see such hidden track.
Regards,
Marty
Hello Martin,
Unfortunately, there is no way negative heights to be used in SCARM, but there is a workaround – by raising the base level (ground zero) at some height up. See more details about how this works here: http://www.scarm.info/blog/tips-and-tricks/how-to-create-tunnel-under-the-base-level/
About displaying of the terrain as wireframe – that’s the exact purpose of this mode: to see what is hidden under the terrain surface.
