Alert on too sharp curves | When checked, too-tightly curved flex appears red |
Minimum radius | Radius used for determining when Alert in too sharp curves triggers |
Distance | The maximum distance allowed allowed between connecting endpoints |
Angle | The maximum angle allowed between connecting endpoints |
Maximum % | The maximum percentage allowed on slopes |
Autoconnect | Automatically connect track when endpoints are close enough |
Allow mixed rails | When checked, any track with the same gauge will connect. Uncheck to make sure you use the correct transition track |
Snap to grid | Makes lines and surfaces snap to an underlying grid. The left upper point of the line or surface is aligned with the grid |
