a-ch.mezger Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi, I have a problem using the crossing switch 24624 of Mrklin through rocrail and rocstudio. My understanding ist that this switch with one Motor has only two positions: 1. simple crossing 2 left and right crossing While it has only one motor, it should have only 2 commands (position 0 and 1). However in 3d studio it has 4 positions, so that rocrail through rocstudio can not handle this switch. Is there something I can do about it or is there some other thing to do? regards Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahnLand Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hello Anton, to get the Maerklin switch 24624 from he Train Studio with only 2 switch positions please proceed the following steps: Put the Maerklin switch 24624 from the Train Studio online catalog onto your layout and select "Edit" to change its properties. Consider the existing routes: Route 0 and Route 1 are the straight routes, Route 2 and Rout 3 are the curved routes from the switch. Now select the "Switch positions" tab and there "Switch position 0". Here, "Route 0" is referred. "Activate" an additional route and refer then "Route 1". Select now "Sweitch position 2", where "Route 2" is already referred. "Activate" also here an additional route an refer then "Route 3". Select now "Switch position 3" and delete it. Select finally "Switch position 1" and delete it too. The former "Switch position 2" now becomes to the new "Switch position 1". When you now select "Switch position 0", you see both straight routes brightened, which are now the valid routes for this switch position. When you select "Switch position 1", you see both curved routes brughtened, which are now the valid routes for this switch position. You can now leave the "3D model setup". That's all. You can now use this switch with only 2 positions like it is operated in the "real Maerklin world". Many greetings BahnLand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-ch.mezger Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 It seems that you use the the version 4 and I have still the version 3. I did not change while I am not sure that rocstudio is then still compatible. Is it possible to modify for the version 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BahnLand Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hello Anton, no, it is not possible to do this with the "track settings" function of version 3. Many greetings BahnLand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-ch.mezger Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Bahnland, I will try with version 4. Is rocstudio compatible with that version or is there a new version of it regards Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASY Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Anton, Rockstudio currently does not work in version 4. As far as I know Neo wants to implemet it into version 4 in an (later) update... regards EASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-ch.mezger Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Bad luck it means, that I cannot use version 4 therefore. regards Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-ch.mezger Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 However I solved the problem with rocrail. When using 3D train studio I use a switch with two drives otherwise 1 drive. regards Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
