AnyRail can create (near) perfect arcs, easements and straights from flex track.
To create a straight, curve or easement #
- Right-click the flex and select Straight flex…, Curve flex… or Easement flex….
Alternatively:
- Click the flex, and select from the ribbon.
A straight #
- Set the length.
A curve #
Creating a precise curve (circular arc) is similar to straightening a piece of track.
- Set the angle and the radius of the curve.
An easement #
An easement provides a smooth transition between a straight and a curve. Real railways always use them to avoid wear and tear, and to permit higher speeds. They also increase passenger comfort.
- Set the angle and the radius of the easement. Don’t forget to indicate whether it’s a left or right easement.
