Using Railmodeller Software

You didn't use SCARM.

Thanks DomMiele, Does SCARM work with MAC? I might have to get a virtual PC for MAC. Thanks again.

Well, I'm using an older demo version of the software - or playing with it, really. Its functions might not be exactly the same as yours - but in the version I'm using, it's "connect with sectional track" that would do what you're trying. Click that, then one joint to be connected, then the other, then it searches through the library of the track you're using. 

In the screen shot you posted, to me it looks like you might have a problem in that the two joints aren't quite parallel - but if there's a way to connect with the track you're using, it should find it.

cool! I'll try it again tomorrow with the tracks are far apart and not too parallel and see if it can connect…with tracks. Thanks again, David.

On the discussion post for SCARM-Hello From the Author, I believe there were descriptions for using it with Mac.  Either there or on another thread, but I did see it.  If you can get it to work then you'll have a free full program and not have to fiddle with a "demo" version.  SCARM is reeeeeeeally nice, definitely worth a look.

SCARM is Windows only. Takes a lot of voodoo with Wine to get it to maybe work for mac. Many can't do that, Dom. Railmodeller is it for mac.

I've not used this program, but have used a bunch of others, they tend to be similar.

I see an offset that would likely require two custom cut pieces in real life, or in other programs. The program may see this too, try evening one dimension to within the programs "close enough" limits with track choices, and it may be more willing calculate the other piece that needs cutting.

GT3fan - Adriatic's description of the gap was more accurate than mine. The fix for the offset could be as simple as using one 5.5-inch piece and one 5-inch piece, instead of a 10-inch piece, before the two curves at the bottom of the screen shot. I'm assuming that's a 10-inch piece, since the name is out of the frame.

I wanted the program to show its "close gaps with pieces of sectional tracks" in the track Library function. As suggested, I have tried it with A and B are at least 30 in apart and it still does not do it. Thanks for all your help guys! Do MTH O-gauge have flex track?

I don't think so, that is why I pointed out the offset.

If you look at the thin green line I drew, in the copy of your clip, that is near an 1/2" off.

It needs to be closer, even at 30" that is too much offset for only two connections (without flex).

In real life separate pieces for the 30" span would split that same track to track connection angle, among 4 connections, lessening the severity at each joint, and increasing the chances for it to work out. 

 Evening the corner out by replacing tracks associated the green arrow leg to get that green line offset down under an 1/8" is what I was getting at.

Or, if you can, remove the piece from under the green arrow. Move the curve as a section till it aligns better with both straights. Then try to fill both the gaps.    

ooops

Also in a demo version, better features may be disabled! You should look into that.

Hello Adiatic,

I tried with different example with better alignment and you are right! and it works!. THANK YOU! Now I got more work to do :-)

Thanks again for all you guys help.
