hi folks,
this is my first posting in "trains" and my question isn't about trains at all, but I suppose it's the only place to get a proper
answer about the trackdesigner-prog. a couple of weeks ago I downloaded trackdesigner, being curious if the prog could be used for
the layout of my moonbase. I played a little bit with its registry and finally decided to substitute the "old road"-thumbnails with
space baseplates instead of adding new entries. doing it this way I can use the baseplate-toolbar, saving a lot of clicks and
"Ctrl+I" key-strokes. it works pretty well and I'd like to share the modified registry with the lugnet.space-crowd.
being a newbie I'd like to have some feedback from the TD-nerds. I'm troubled with the "Geometries" and all that "port" stuff.
the "t-section" and "crossroad" works fine, but the curves are a mess. the main problem are the missing connection points. I'd like
to attach the next plate on all four sides not just the "road-sides". I did some copy'n'paste to work around the problem, but I'm
not sure if the solution I found is the ideal way. could you please have a look at my registry:
www.holly-wood.it/files/td20_registry.zip ? any suggestion is welcomed. feel free to modify the file and sent it back to me.
many thx in advanced, w.

| I have downloaded your Registry. I see you have new parts 552 Curved road (for spacce plate with craters) & 553 Straight road (space plate with circle). I have used Track Designer and added my own parts - such as train stations, goods sheds etc. My (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains)
