Adaptive track laying ?

[rolf102]

Hi,

My suggestion for future versions is to implement "adaptive track laying".
By this i mean, when you have a point attached onto two flex tracks, the flex tracks will move with the point as you move the point around, but the other ends of the flex tracks will stay put.

i hope my suggestions is clear enough to understand.

Hi Rolf,

If I understand you correctly, you'd like to be able to move the connection point of two flexes.

It could then be moved just by dragging it.

Am I right?

David.

Hi David,

more precisely explained: you start with two straight tracks wich are fixed, to these two tracks you add a Flex track and finally you connect these flex tracks to a point(point = wissel)then you drag around the point, and the attached flex tracks move with it.

OK, I understand.
However, it seems to be a special case. Normally, dragging a point (or turnout or switch ) results in dragging the whole stretch of connected track.
It might be useful however to drag 'with the SHIFT key down' and only move the track between flexes.

We should investigate how difficult it is to implement, and how to make it consistent.
Anyway, thanks for the idea!

David.
