Group, Thank you to all that responded. If you would like to see the club layout as it is now go to www.shorttrackrr.org. If your ever in north San Diego county look us up 10am to 4pm on all

Only if the modifications needed are to add/replace or augment with (new) elements from the parm files. Moving or Deleting existing elements, or Joining, or Adding flexible track elements, or Draw

100% correct

Am I correct in thinking that the other person reviewing the design can see everything just like the original designer (who has all the parameter files), but modifications to the drawing may require

Peter, The N-Kato-Unitram file is shipped inside the product itself. Go to File->Parameter Files->Library and search for Kato. The Unitram file should be listed. Hit "Add" and then "OK". The old

Seems I spoke too soon! This error only occurs on XTrackCad on my Mac. I can open the same file on my PC and it works fine, as soon as I open it on my Mac, it shows this error - I have loaded the

In addition to the answer of Adam: the current beta release is using a slightly different format for the .xtc files. This means that once this version goes public and you move to that version, you

In short, yes. The .xtc file does not depend on parameter file contents, the elements are all copied/cloned into the layout. Adam

Group, I belong to a club that is building an extension to the current layout. I'm the designer of the layout on paper using XTrackCad. I will be exporting copies of the .xtc file to a "group.io"

Thanks for the information. I doubted that we could "spray paint". That is the effect I have in mind, smooth shading. Multiple polygons work. B This is a hangover from the days when

This is a hangover from the days when XTrackCAD was born. Those of long memory may recall that early graphics hw support had to use a limited "palette" of colors. You could have any color you wanted

Good day Joost, There are topo maps around that use shading to represent elevation above a reference point. The advantage is the drawing is not cluttered with lines and numbers. This work has

Hi Robert, For me the shading was not really showing the topography. Actually, If you hadn't asked this, I would not even have noticed it in the 3D-view. Give the fact that the Xtrackcad objects are

Hi Adam, Given you explanation I would say: add the option, if that is relatively easy. My personal preference would still be to get rid of the arrowhead cursor, for me it does not really add

The deal is we have to pick between some imperfect solutions as we navigate between platforms and windowing systems. The situation of cursors and their behavior as they move between what are actually

Have the viewer thanks. It's the topography between the tracks and structures that I am trying to represent with shading, light to dark, low to high. Is it successful? B

Something like this? I used Xtrkcad viewer, see http://mwik.altervista.org/

Good morning. There has been interest in having a 3D view of our designs, before commiting saw to wood. Often, what looks good on "paper" doesn't work out in practice. Attached is a layout file, Beta

Yes, I experienced the same issue last night (Windows 10). Haven’t tested it on my Mac yet. -- Peter Borcherds BNSF Chicago Sub in N Scale N Scale Commuter, Freight & Switching Layout Website:

Known bug at Beta 3.0 - all groups with no tracks are complaining - fix already pushed to BSF. Adam
