I uploaded a new version. I would be curious if it handles your roundhouse correctly, now. -- Russell Shilling http://shilling-or.com

Russell, Thanks for the clarification...and for the tool.  The fact it didn't do a great job with the track in the RH is small potatoes in my opinion.  The idea that I can layout my structure

Thanks Dwyane.  That work made all the difference. Bill Lugg

I just checked, it is the version dated 17 February. -- -- Ian

This just gets better and better. When I restarted I was asked if I wanted to Resume from the previous Plan. Saying "Yes" it crashed. Log attached.-- -- Ian

And just got another strange crash with this model, and the rebuilt XTI was going well too. Sigh. This time I started out with the actual Minitrix length of Track before adding the Decoupler bits. Log

Trying to make an XTI for the Trix 4969 Remote Electric Uncoupler (I couldn't find one in the Param file) and suddenly get a message saying that it cannot do something with the piece of track. It

So, I've spent a little time fiddling with this tool (very handy, by the way - too bad there's not a Linux version) and I ended up laying out a couple of structures from the Laramie engine facility,
