<p>[quote user="cuyama"]</p>But again, in my experience many people waste an inordinate amount of time on CAD while working on a track plan for themselves when lower-tech methods would serve just as well. <p>Best of luck.</p> <p>Byron<br><a href="http://mrsvc.blogspot.com/" class=""><strong><font color="#136cb4">Model RR Blog</font></strong></a> <br><a href="http://www.layoutvision.com/gallery" class=""><strong><font color="#136cb4">Layout Design Gallery</font></strong></a><br></p><p>[/quote] </p><p>Byron is quite right in his statement - the time you spend fighting with the software to do what you want it to do can be nerve-wrecking and distracting. No software will prepare a "better" track plan for you, as there is no logic other than to connect given elements together and shape flex-track - that´s all. You don´t need all these 3-D features that some of the programmes offer.<br></p><p>Make a sketch of your trackplan using paper, pencil and eraser and than use a" freebee" software to see, whether it all fits, IMHO the best way!<br></p>
