Re: help
While it can be done with R610's and slightly forced to join, what I would do (Which also massively saves on cost if you've not already purchased your track) is to use Peco code 100 streamline flexible track and cut it to length with track cutting shears.

Re: help
What is an R8241 anyway? Assuming its the same size as an R600. I can make that fit in Xtrkcad. It allows you to move things slightly based on the assumption that there's a little bit of play in the joins. I imagine it'll get a bit messy if you try to do a double track though.

Re: help
Can I ask what the indent in that lower right corner is for?
It doesn't look large enough to let a door open without a lift section as it is drawn.
That would need a larger space to contain both the door arc and somewhere outside that for someone to stand.

Re: help
To keep it as simple as possible, and assuming the gap is shorter than an R600, just remove the opposing R600 and move the bottom loop up to join. Then shuffle the whole loop into a more central location to give a bit more edge distance and maybe give that space to lo-relief buildings.
If more loops are going inside this one then the same basic principle should work.
If required trim the long rail to allow both sides to match.
