Nice tutorial. Thanks. Best, John
Thanks. You got me started
Nice job explaining the how to's. I'm an autocad user to so I was able to understand and follow along with no problem. When you had the problem of clicking on the edge of the surface to change color it was grabbing the line first. It does that because you drew the line for your bench first then the surface. When selecting it will grab the first line drawn. I was having a little problem with that also. What I did was pick a corner point and move it just a little to expose whats drawn underneath, make changes, move point back. That would be a last resort. So far I find AnyRail a very user friendly program for the rookie. It gets really powerful when you get to the advanced stuff which I'm looking forward to doing so I will be looking for your future video's. Good job again
Great tips. Thank you
Thankyou for the tips and video thankyou
FYI, the values for the 'End Point', "Connection', & 'Control Point' sets the size of those objects. I have all three of mine set at .125". So they aren't cartoonishly large, but still able to be seen.
Hey thanks for the tutorial. New sub. David👍😃
Thank you!
nice tutorial!
Thanks!
I wish you would do a video using marklin C track.
I tried to follow along, but no matter what I did, I could neither find nor pull up a tools section to the right of the settings heading. Somehow, you kept pulling up a tools section out of nowhere.
Was there a Part 2 on AnyRail software, really enjoyed Part 1?
I have filmed a bunch of it and got stuck when I was undecided about the track design in a certain section. I should finish that off. Thanks!
Good luck with the grid pattern I can't see.
Interesting but looks like a pia compared to CAD software which also allows one to design benchwork and models.
As I used both softwares, Anyrail was far easier to use. All the track pieces are already made so you don't have to design that into CAD yourself.
@@nscaler454 Must not be very CAD proficient? I've designed in Rhino since 2003 and have used other CAD software. To me being able to design things other than just the track plan is important. For a very intuitive CAD software Moment Of Inspiration is very easy to learn.. I just finished a layout design and it went easily and fast. I would say CAD is probably my most important modeling tool.
@@cattaraugustonawanda4426 I am sure there are many many out there that are better at CAD than me, but I've used both AutoCAD and AnyRail to design my layout, and without a doubt AnyRail is an easier, more convenient program. Track turnouts, buildings, etc are all pre-programed into the software. With a CAD program you need to design it all yourself. Regardless if its easy or quick for some folks, it's still an extra step. I'm not saying CAD isn't much more powerful and you can do a lot more, it's just not necessary for most people out there. Fortunately, if there are things I can't do in AnyRail, I can always go back to CAD. If you prefer to design your layout on your preferred CAD software, then that's great. Regardless of what program you use, it's an extremely useful step in the layout process, I think we can both agree on that.
Really enjoyed this demo. Cheers
