I want to print the track plan for a town as a schematic with a green background. I have found that a yellow color shows up nicely against the green. When I...
... Hi Jim, There's been a lot of discussion on just this subject in the past few weeks. You won't have to dig very far back in the group archives for ideas...
Been long time since we have had support for the present version. I realize the energy involved and the advantages of the new program we have all been looking...
... A quick search of the group archives, searching on "Randy release" netted these statements from Randy: Thu Apr 7, 2005 10:18 am ...As I promised, anyone...
Hi, while on vacation this week I ran into 3 problems with 3rd Planit. I assume they are user errors, but I could not work them out. They were quite...
Hi Chip, ... of ... To debug this I'd really need specifics. Those messages have a familiarity to them, but I don't think (according to my aging memory)...
Chip, Item one may have to do with a need to have a short straight section at the end before attempting to connect a curve. That, at least, has been working ...
Thanks. IT does help on the last post about elevation. Although I don't know the specifics the concepts make sense and I should be able to work it though. ... ...
I had the same experience. Often though, I would have to keep adding length to the tangent until the radius of the turn was decreased significantly. ... ...
I've been a licensed user of 3rd Plan It for a while now. Last weekend I purchased the DXF/DWG Option for 3rd Plan It. I quickly received an e-mail containing...
Hi folks I would like to post my 3rd planit plan for comments for one of the yahoo groups. But I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions...
Chip, What the program is telling you is the curve you are trying to fit in there is too large a radius, given the other geometry, and it either runs into a ...
Allan, At the bottom of every message there are links to the list web site. On the left are text links to the files area, photos, members, etc. Go to the files...
You may want to turn on color objects by type. This makes it easier to see where the pieces start and end. When making the connections, the curves can't go...
Thanks, I'll play with that and see if I can see what you mean. My frustration is that if I am making a 90 degree turn and have a 30 inch square to do so, I ...
Try placing the curve first. You can draw a circle and move it around. You can then connect the tangents to the circle or better yet, delete the tangents and...
... Rick, Thanks for the response. Now how do I post my file so it can be read by users without 3rd planit? Is there a way to export the file, for example, so...
... If you're posting to the 3rdPlanIt group, you can assume that everyone has the program or at least the demo version. For posting other places, you can...
Oops. I forgot to mention 3PI's File > Export > View to File. That won't get you a PDF, but you can get a BMP, JPEG, or TIFF file from there. Quick, easy, and...
August, Just for the sake of diminishing my ignorance, let pretend that Allen is really an evil character (which I'm sure he's not)who wants to infect everyone...
Allen, First, to share the file you need 3pi. August gave good options for that route. If they don't have 3pi, they aren't users now are they? Anything else is...
... That's an interesting question, Don. I'm sure the only person who could say with any certainty that there are no risks would be Randy. And there are other...
Jeez. That went *way* over my head. But, I think you said that it would be very unlikely, right? Subject to the opinions of other more knowledgeable folks. ...
... Sorry 'bout that. If there's stuff in my rambling you would like me to take another stab at, let me know. ... Yep. ... Yep. That's a "cover my ass" caveat....
... Bad assumption. You CAN assume that everyone has SOME version of 3rdPlanIt, but different versions do NOT read the same file formats. If a plan is posted...
Has anyone created a deck girder bridge for use on 3PI like the HO scale models by Campbell or MicroEngineering? I looked at 3PI.info and could not seem to...
