how do I edit the helix settings?

[sleon]

Let's say I build a helix by working through the Anyrail dialog box. Then I discover that I need to add another 1/4 turn, or subtract a half turn, or increase/decrease the vertical track separation, or change some other setting. Where in Anyrail do I click x to be able to edit an existing helix? So far, I can't find any right-or-left-click options. Nor can I find a menu to open or pull down.

I am not aware that you can edit a helix in the way that you want to.  AnyRail creates a helix by replicating a curve that you have already created - any fixed radius curve, up to 90 degrees of angle.  A helix may then contain many identical copies of this curve.  If the initial curve is a 90 degree curve, it is relatively easy to copy and past additional sections or to delete some to adjust the length a quarter of a turn at a time.  To set the gradient, I think the only easy method is to fix the start and end heights of the helix and then use the "Smooth Slope" function.

I agree with PlatanoMalo, it is easier to create new helix than to edit one.

On the Show tab, adjust height in view to only display the lower portion of your helix.  Here you can add or subtract from your helix as well as tacking on tangent track to get out of that vicious circle.

Adjusting the height of the view (set in the "Show" tab) to see a limited part of the helix is a great way to simplify the task.
