Simple Computer Aided Railway Modeller

This page contains options for setting the behavior of the program when editing track plans

Flex-tracks – Controls the shaping behavior of the flex-tracks

Minimum radius for Curve – sets the minimum possible bending radius of the flex-tracks as follows:

Library preset (individual) – the minimum possible radius of each flex-track depends on the library setting.

User defined (global) – the minimum possible radius of all flex-tracks in all scales can be set by the user.

The global value always takes precedence – forces the program to use the global value set by the user as minimum radius for all flex tracks in all libraries.

Примечание If the global minimum radius is smaller than the individual minimum radius for a given flex-track, the library preset takes precedence unless “The global value always takes precedence” option is checked.

Minimum angle for Curve – sets the minimum possible bending angle of all flex-tracks when shaping with the mouse. If the bending angle is smaller than this value, the program will draw straight track.

Reduced joining tolerances (recommended) – this option is used for joining the currently shaped flex-track with better precision to another, when the flex-track end points to the other track's free end, but the mouse cursor does not overlap the other track end point.

Примечание This setting has no effect when the Auto shape & join feature is used (when the cursor is over the other track's end point), which is indicated by a black dot in the green arrow and means a perfect join without tolerance.

Tolerances – Controls the tracks joining tolerances

Distance – the maximum distance between the ends of two tracks at which automatic join may occur.

Angle – the maximum angle between two tracks at which automatic join may occur.
