SCARM video 10 Colors
We can use track colors to for instance indicate tracks that are on a different height, or to show a route we want a train to drive, or to highlight all the turnouts.

SCARM video 11 Ramps and Heights
It’s surprisingly easy to create a ramp in SCARM. Select the tracks you want to be part of the ramp and enter the height. SCARM automatically calculates the intermediate heights at every track separation.

SCARM video 12 Bridges and Tunnels
When designing a layout with height differences often a desire to have a bridge or a tunnel pops up. The video shows how to draw those in SCARM and how they look in 3D view.

SCARM video 13 Draw Shapes
Shapes or figures can be drawn to enhance a layout with, say, station platforms and buildings. These can be basic shapes like rectangles or circles, but there's also a multi-point polygon option to draw irregular shapes. Shapes can be given a height and an elevation above or below the base, and they can be given a color and a transparency.
