The Show tab contains functions to control what’s currently displayed.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Centerline | Show only a single line for the track |
| Track | Show the track. The outer lines of what’s drawn are the actual rails |
| Detailed | Draw track with details. The sleepers have the actual width, but not the actual position and distance from each other |
| Roadbed | Show the roadbed of the track. The actual width of the sectional elements is used here. Make sure to tick this box if you want to check if the track fits on the baseboard, and does not overlap |
| Trace | Show a trace of the given Width under all track. This can be used to check clearances |
| Width | Width of the trace |
| Hidden track | Show all track labeled Hidden. This is dotted track in tunnels, hidden staging yards, etc. |
| Visible track | Show all track not labeled Hidden. This is all track in plain sight |
| Track ends | Show clear boundaries between the sectional track elements |
| Endpoints | Show element endpoints |
| Connections | Show connections between elements |
| Track control points | Show flex track control points |
| Flex too long | When checked, overstretched flex appears red |
| Flex too sharp curves | When checked, too-tightly curved flex tracks appear red, orange and yellow |
| Inaccurate connections | Mark connections that don’t fit perfectly with a red dot |
| Sections | Show sections |
| Name | Show the name of the section. This only shows when there’s enough room. The software determines a position and orientation for the text |
| Description | Show the description of the section. This shows only when there’s enough room |
| Label | Show the label for each part |
| Part number | Show a part number on each track element. The software tries to scale the font down on smaller parts. If this is not possible, the track number won’t show |
| Part code | Show a part code on each track element, if available. The software tries to scale the font down on smaller parts. If this is not possible, the track code won’t show |
| Slope percentages | This shows the percentage of the gradient (if any). 1% means one unit of descent/ascent per 100 units of distance, e.g. 1 cm per meter. When the slope is too steep, this percentage will be shown in red. See Settings to set the maximum slope |
| Height | Show the heights |
| Vertical clearance | Show the distance between the lower and upper track where tracks cross. Please note that this is the top-rail to top-rail distance |
| Glue | Show glue indicators |
| Reverse loops | Show reverse loops. Only shows the shortest loops in case of multiple overlapping loops |
| Guides | Show circle center point for curved track |
| Control points | Show line and surface control points |
| Pages | Show the pages as the layout would be printed in the current print scale |
| Objects | Show predefined objects |
| User objects | Show user objects |
| Groups | Show groups |
| Lines | Show lines |
| Surfaces | Show surfaces |
| Table tops | Show table tops |
| Height contours | Show height contours |
| - Numbering | Numbering of the height contours |
| Texts | Show texts |
| Rulers | Show rulers |
| Tunnels | Show tunnels |
| Lower limit | Only show all elements with a height of at least this value. Together with the Upper limit, this allows you to define a horizontal slice of your layout |
| Upper limit | Only show all elements with a height below this value |
