Once you have it off the bar up top, and into your laytout space hit enter.

I find pressing the spacebar is slightly easier than enter. The idea is that your mouse cursor holds the piece of sectional track so that you can move it around, then press space (or enter) to "anchor" the piece. At that point your mouse still holds the piece of track, so you can place another one if you want. Press Esc or click on another tool to remove the piece form your mouse pointer.

If you haven't yet, it's really worth the time and effort to go through the tutorial that comes with the program.

I'll second doing the tutorial. There is a lot that is not really intuitive, but once you do the tutorial, you can do about anything.
