Structure

The Structure command places diagrams of structures (buildings, bridges and other scenic elements) on the layout. The operation is similar to the Turnout command.

When you select a structure from the list, its diagram is drawn in the diagram canvas. The dimensions are also listed on the dialog.

You can also select the structure using the Hot Bar.

Left-Dragging on the layout moves the structure and Right-Dragging rotates.

Right-Click will rotate the structure by 90° clockwise. Shift-Right-Click will rotate the structure by 15°. Holding down the Alt key will rotate the structure counter-clockwise.

When you are satisfied with the structure placement and orientation, press Ok to finalize it.

The New button invokes the Structure Designer dialog.

The Structure Selection dialog will disappear while dragging on the layout if the Hide Selection Window Check Box on the Preferences dialog is set. This is useful if you have a small screen.
