Switches that wont form

Unread postby MontanaRails » Thu Jan 26, 2012 10:59 am

I've been trying to lay this switch for quite some time now...and it will not render properly.

I've tried splitting and welding various parts, relaying the diverging track, and the siding, and using various other trackrules. Still, the frog and points will not form. Has anyone run into this before?

The problem is that you try to connect the tracks over a red triangle. That's not possible.
Such a red triange appears where two sections of track meet.

Delete the two adjacent track sections of the main. Relay them as one section with the "snap to track" option selected.
There should be no red triangle anymore and you can make the junction.

Thank you - it was two things; I was trying to make it over a track joint, and I was using two different trackrules.
