Hello Bob, another Slackware user - what a surprise :) I guess the server at hg.sourceforge.net:8000 isn't really alive any more... I just yesterday successfully built xtrkcad 5.2 GA on -current from

Mike, Descriptions do exist for helix - as with all track descriptions it has to be turned on in Options->Display and you have to be at a zoom level less than the label scale. You can context right-cl

Mike that's true as far as everyone is going to use a different construction method and materials but the measurement will be a determinable constant for each build so could be plugged in to the dialo

Interesting tutorial Will, but a quarry helix would require a lot more space than I can devote to it, especially since I need two of them.

Hi Adam. I agree completely. My method of building and the materials I use are probably different from anyone else's and theirs from anyone else...ad infinitum. Peace, Mike G.

I think that is is better not to attempt to add complexity, but I added a warning in the manual and some words to the pop-up for the "Vertical Separation" (not Vertical Clearance) field. Adam

So as I feared, the calculated clearances between layers needs to be reduced by one thickness of the sub support, roadbed if used and track height from the bottom of the ties to the railhead to give t

Ah, helixes. The calculations made by Xtrkcad are simplistic in all elevation cases. They are roadhead to roadhead. They do not assume anything about the track thickness (code), sleeper thickness, bal

Is there any way to make XTrackCAD stay in "select objects" mode? When I use the program, I have to constantly switch from "object properties mode" back to "select objects" mode. Thanks, Bart p.s. tha

You also use a Parallel Line with 0 Separation . Then use Properties set the line width. One caveat: Parallel Line on a Cornu Track creates it as a PolyLine which is not smooth like a regular Curve Tr

Center track could be done by making the track "dual gauge" which is supported in V5.2. 1. You parallel the base track with another track of half-gauge (so I'm guessing Z for N) on top of the current
