RE: Changing Points!

What do you mean "change Points"? If you mean use a switch to change tracks, you must right click on the point of the switch and then "take other exit" in the menu.Kevin Arceneaux

RE: Changing Points!

The problem is that you dont have path points turned on. The switch points appear green. To activate them look in your "View" menu, it should be the very last one. It does not get a check mark when you click on it, but it will toggle the path points on or off. Hope this helps:-)

RE: Changing Points!

Also, if you have put in a reverse point, and the reversed path dont cover the switch your trying to change, it will be grayed out
