Create a curve with multiple flex track elements
To better understand the utility of the function you can look at the sample image:
– www.carlofilippofollis.name/files/2017/07/railmodeller-idea-n-005-create-a-curve-with-multiple-flex.jpg
With a flexible rail of 914 mm. I want to create a curve of 120 cm. of ray and 150°, but I will have a message that makes me realize that it is impossible. The operation is impossible because the flexible track is too short.
RailModeller Pro should therefore use all the flexible tracks useful to create a 120 cm curve. of radius and of 150°. This implementation is very useful for large layouts and very wide radius curves.
The usefulness of this implementation increases if you have to draw a double track line.
Visually the cuts on the track will always be there. The cuts will, however, correspond to the real end of 914 cm. of flexible track.
Next to the menu items, links, “straight” and “curved” may be “a curve”.

What I do as a good workaround is to use the Create a Track Helix functionality. There you can choose to use the half circle and pick a flex track (in my case Märklin 2205). Then you can customise the radius. Works quite well!

Tangent to this is "Create a curve" functionality, where you could create a curve (with easements?) of a certain radius.
