The previous
videos on SCARM that I once made in the mean time are 8 years old. It's about time to renew them with higher quality HD video.
This is
the first video of a new series on SCARM.

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.

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
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2022 1:20 pm
by RudyB
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.
