Click to expand... The only way you can do that; is to merge the smaller route adjacent to the larger route. THEN, add one baseboard in the direction you want to go, to the larger route. This then gives you the opportunity to 'copy, rotate and paste' one baseboard size from the smaller route onto the new larger route. Once that is in place, delete the baseboard you took the copy from, and then repeat the process again adding one baseboard at a time. By the time you have finished, the smaller 'merged' route would have been deleted. It's then a simple matter to re-join any broken track between each baseboard. It's a slow process, but in the end you'll have the route running the way you intended. Good luck. Roy
