Mixy,
... If I am designing a track plan using Lionel tubular track, in order to create a custom cut section, I have to go to the AtlasO 3r and select the 40" flex track piece to fill the gap.
Could a new piece of track be created for other manufacturer's track that has the properties of the AtlasO 3r 40" Flex, maybe called Custom Cut?
I think this would be a convenient feature. I've been doing the exact same thing as Stewart; I change track libraries to get AtlasO 3r 40" Flex to create Custom Cut pieces of tubular track. I made some related comments back on page 2:
Mixy, one feature I would like to see added to SCARM is the flex-track tool directly accessible from each track library ... I use the SCARM flex-tracks tool to build individual pieces of less-common varieties of sectional track that are not in the track libraries ...
I also use the flex-tracks tool to specify custom-cut pieces of sectional track for other types of track ... if people know how to use the flex-tracks tool they can create whatever they want with the specs. After creating one custom piece it is easy to make duplicates with copy and paste.
Meanwhile, I just change track libraries to get a piece of flex track, then cut and paste if I need more after changing to a track library without flex-track. I like Stewart's idea for a "Custom Cut" option in track libraries that don't include flex-track. It would be convenient if the tool-box feature automatically opens with it.
Many Thanks again to Mixy for making available this great free software with the 3-D features!
