Scarm question | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I have adapted an HO layout to 3-rail O, drawing it in SCARM. It was a challenge (a bit of a spaghetti layout), but I was able to do it and maintain O72 min. radius and aisleways. But, now that I have it all drawn in, I realized that it would fit the room and doorways better if I flip the plan around the vertical axis, eg Left to Right. Any way to do this?

Also is there a way to rotate a selection of track? I see the option for other objects, but not track.

A big thanks to the author. This is a great design tool and really quite easy to use.

AFAIK, the best you can do is rotate the whole plan 180°, but that's not what you're after. I don't know of any way to mirror the layout, something I've also wanted to do on a few occasions.

To rotate a track, place new Start point in desired direction and then move the track to that point. To rotate the "new" Start Point, hold down the left button as you place the Start Point and rotate it through the circle that appears.

Hello Bob,

Send me your SCARM layout file toand I will make the flip.

The new flip feature is almost ready and I want to test how it works with a real layouts, before releasing the new SCARM version.

P.S. Rotation with the Rotate dialog should work also for tracks in the upcoming version
