Extras - Administrate Modules

The module editor allows to create and modify track elements. The "Extras / Administrate modules" menu point is only available directly after the program start.

Select or Create a Module

On top of the dialog window you can either choose an existing track module or use the button New to create a new module.

General Information

Below the module selection bar you find a number of fields with information about the track module:

• Manufacturer
• Gauge
• Author
• Track width
• Bedding width
• Remarks

Manufacturer and Gauge are important for filtering the module in the module selection. Track width and the bedding width are important for displaying.

Selecting or Creating Track Elements

Below the general information, you find a list of track elements that are defined in the module.. The button New creates a new track element. Important: A track element in a plan is identified by the module and track element name. It is therefor not possible to rename or delete track elements without damaging existing plans.

Editing Track Elements

If an element is selected in the list, its basic information will and a preview will be shown if available:

• Radius
• Length
• Angle
• Remark
• Type of the element

Hint: If length/radius/angle and element type are filled in before the editor is opened the first time with the button Open in Editor, the geometry will be auto generated for straight and curved tracks.

The button Open in Editor opens the geometry editor. Here you can create the geometric details of the track element. Before closing the geometry editor, the track element has to be combined with the button C.
