Crossover

Places a crossover. Two turnouts and a joining straight section are placed to connect tracks.

  • Different turnouts can be selected for the first and second turnout.
  • Works with parallel and non-parallel geometries.
  • If the calculated angle for the turnout is not the same as the one defined for the turnout a kink may occur. The tool will not place arbitrary turnouts.
