Text edit in UR30, and my track

[Keld]

I just bought UR3.0 today, and made a track I want to build, in my racecenter I have a little place in a corner where it can be. 4,0 x 5,8 meters.

But making this track I found out that I can't make taxt fields, or I can do that but I can't edit the text, "new text here" how do I do this?

And I also have a problem using 'banked curve' I can't figure how to make a banked curve, I tried to copy from plastic tracks, but it dosn't work.


some picture from my track:

29 m. long, heights from 40 cm to 130 cm. sharpest corner is radius 15 cm, and 11 cm. between lanes, we are driving 1/24 modelcars.

Text boxes can be a bit awkward.

Make the surrounding box much bigger than you need, then double click away from the text, maybe down the bottom right. Then you can delete and type.

Not sure what you mean regarding banked curves. If you're expecting custom made banked curves to show in 3D, I don't think that's currently possible.

I'm not sure why, but I can't see your track pictures, but if you've got "a little place in a corner" that's 4 x 5.8m then I envy your space.

Yes I want custom made banked curve on my track.

I can see the pictures, if you can't I also uploaded the track here:

Sorry but I also have a big 8 lane slotcar track 41 m in the same room

Just downloaded your layout.

Fantastic design, brilliant 3D work, very impressive, thanks for sharing.

[Keld]

thanks, I think I can do better, still on day 1 of the programme.

Found out about the banked curves, making them myself.

the first standard section after a banked unit will restore the banking, so use long Straight after and before the banking.

[JasonB]

Yes, I've just been checking out the banked curves, so for the benefit of anybody else who might want to make their own custom banked curves, here's where you can set the banking angle.

[Keld]

Yes but b2 is not enough to a 4 lane wooden track, it was almost nothing, the pictures I made is with b5 so we might need to experiance a bit here to find the right angel fitting your project.

[Keld]

Designing in UR 3.0 was great, but that wasn't enough the track has to be build too.

first in a model, and then on paper to see which part on which piece of wood.



routing the track



test setup:



Paint and braid



making power one seperate for each lane:



and 3 month later
racing

Looks fantastic. Well done.

[Ricky Torpedo]

Outstanding!

Just found this old thread, since then I did find time to make some landskabe on the track,
