<p>I'm just getting into XtrkCAD4, and have a question about adding curved track section to an existing straight section.</p><p>When I place a curved section, by default it always places one way:</p><p>[img]http://www.ptvavm.com/hold/2007-07-16_xtrkcad_1.jpg[/img]</p><p>As I want the track to curve downward, I use the rotate tool to flip it vertically:</p><p>[img]http://www.ptvavm.com/hold/2007-07-16_xtrkcad_2.jpg[/img]</p><p>... but then the subsequent curved tracks are also placed like the first one, requiring me to individually rotate them one by one:</p><p>[img]http://www.ptvavm.com/hold/2007-07-16_xtrkcad_3.jpg[/img]</p><p>Is there an easier way to correct the orientation of the curved track pieces, rather than doing it one by one? Also, it seems that when the curves are rotated, it's not always easy to line it up and connect properly to the existing track in a smooth curve.</p><p>Thank you for any help in advance. </p>
