Well Spectrum,

I don't consider myself an expert, but I believe I can help you with 3rd Planit. I bought the software about eighteen months back and I have played around with it some. I'm not much on easements myself, but attaching turnouts to a piece of track is fairly straight forward. Just click on the end of the turnout you want to attach to a piece of track and drag-and-drop it to the other piece of track. The track will highlight green when you have snaped to it. I'll help you with any other questions I am able, but like I said, I don't consider myself an expert. - Ed
