You can create a rail by specifying such parameters as length, width, height and color for the rail base and carriage.

Tip: You can create segmented rail using models of the base segments and carriage. It’s necessary to set the corresponding model files using the Segment and Carriage buttons. Make sure you use the correct dimension values and right number of segments. Use the Segments checkbox to build the corresponding rail model.
Tip: Use the Mechanism checkbox to create a rail mechanism. You can additionally set the motion limits and the zero position of the carriage with the corresponding parameters.
Note: Please check the displacement of the segments and carriage models in case the Segments option is used. There are several examples in the Models folder. By default, the folder with model examples is C:\RoboDK\Addins\com.robodk.app.shape\Components\models\rail\.
Tip: Use the Auto checkbox to set parameters based on model bounding box measurements. Small details of the model may affect the measurement result. You can uncheck Auto after measurement and set the parameters manually.
