Jonathon, The attached 3pi file is my panel dwg. I just used a thick line style and set the grid and snap to .1" increments. After the first attempt, I found...
Right, I can select properties for each segement and that works but I would like to change a bunch of segments at one time. Really what I want to do is change...
Create a Path through the main line and then change the line width using the Change command or the Change Line Style button- all segments in the path will...
Hi Kris I'm an N-scaler myself and as far as I know at least Minitrix, Roco and Fleischmann produce 3-way turnouts. Unfortunately Peco, which I use, doesn't....
Shinohara makes a code 70 3 way turnout in N scale. Here is a link to a custom trackwork site that has templates for a #4,5,6 3 way turnouts in N scale with...
Rick, The line style can be easily changed that way. However, the line width seems to be an independent property. I can set the line style to Hairline for a...
Jerry, Sounds like this area needs to be revisited in the future. I haven't used the line styles for any of the options as I am mainly just drawing track and...
I am in the muddle(sic) of designing a large basement O scale layout. I have finally gotten to the point where I want to see realistic 3D renderings of the...
Hi Clark, For every light in a layout room, 3PI has to calculate shading. The more lights, the more calculating, and the lower the frame rate, can even suck...
Clark, If there are too many lights in a file the program takes a long time to calculate the values for every pixel in the scene and slows down. If you put...
There's an excellent FREE online magazine called Model Railways Online (British railways) which can be downloaded in PDF format from mrol.gppsoftware.com AP ...
Thanks Paul and Rick. I'm not too worried about performance since I only do an occasional render, never do animation and usually only have the layer I'm ...
Like it says on the tin, it allows transfer between 3rdPlanIt and any software that uses DXF or DWG formats. Is it worth it? That depends on whether or not you...
... DWG is the AutoCAD drawing format. DXF is a format created by AutoCAD to exchange data with other programs, and is supported by nearly every CAD and 3D...
Hi Mike, Hardly used it at all until a while ago. I took a Sanborn Insurance map into Corel Draw, traced the track plan of the Fonda, Johnstown, and ...
Hi, I've used it to something similar - except I took the Sanborn Map straight into 3PI via the place image button and stretched until it more or less matched...
Hi, I want to export track plans to be used in e-mails and on my webpage. What is the best: BMP, DIB, JPEG or TIFF file format? Seems that JPEG don't look...
Hi KnuT, ... JPEG format is intended only for photographs and scanned images. Screen graphics from a CAD program such as 3pi don't look good in JPEG. Export as...
Hello, I've transferred 3PI from my desktop with a 4:3 monitor to a laptop with a widescreen monitor. My new desktop runs at 1280x800. Unfortunately, 3PI...
Hello web5381, Check the display settings. 3pi doesn't know anything about the display, other than what the display driver reports. It almost sounds like you...
I've been looking at the beta releases and am struck with both how many of them there have been and their frequency. Is there any estimate when things might...

Hi Linda, You seem fairly knowlegable about switching between 3D modelling programs to use whatever is needed for the task at hand. I hope you can help me with...
