Track objects (also called track segments) model the railways over which trains can move. The consist of a single control point, and are always linked to one or two other tracks (the previous and next sibling). Tracks can also be attached to tracks in two other ways: as a branch or as a parallel track. Tracks can contain signals.
Normal track
A normal track, with default settings, has the following properties you can edit:
- Promote track into platform
- Node mode: Point mode and Tangent mode
- Tangent track shape
- Custom max speed
- Reset boundary to middle point
- Lock to control point: Pick parent
Parrallel/parented track
A track that is parented to another track. You can still edit almost every function of the track
There are two parenting modes, lock control point:
to a control point:
The track is parented to the other control point and an offset from 0m -1000m can be assigned. The track can also be flipped to the other side by either pressing the flip button or [F].
to a track point:
The track is parented to a point on the track. The point can be defined by the segment t value (0 to 1). The displace value allows you to set an offset in the pendicular direction of the normal offset from -1000m to 1000m.
