Fit Turnout

Used for automatic placing of turnouts on the track intersections.

  • Places a turnout on the intersection of two or more tracks. Trims the secondary alignments.
  • Different turnout definitions can be selected for placement.
  • If the calculated angle is not the same as the one defined for the turnout;
    • If the difference is small the tool will place the turnout but a kink will occur.
    • If the distance is too great the turnout will not be placed.
  • If there is not enough space to place a turnout the tool will fail.
