Turnouts (and sectional track) are created by the Turnout command . When you select the turnout command, the Turnout Selection dialog is displayed which contains a list of available turnouts and sectional track for the current scale (Section 2.10.6) and a diagram of the selected turnout.
You can use the Parameter File Dialog (Section 2.5.6) to control what turnouts are available.
Select a turnout from the scrolling list by Left-Click
ing on it. Move to the Layout and Left-Click
where the turnout should be placed. The Turnout will snap to nearby flextracks or open endpoints. By Left-Drag
ing you can move the turnout around. Additional Left-Click
s change the way the turnout is placed.
The New button invokes the Turnout Designer (Section 2.9.9) dialog. This button displays a pop-up-menu list of various types of turnouts and sectional track.
The Turnout Selection window will disappear while dragging on the layout if the Hide Check Box on the dialog is set. This is useful if you have a small screen.
See the Hot Bar (Section 2.7) command for details on placing Turnouts on the layout.
