 The preferred method of creating routes is very easy by using the **[[:router-en|Router]]**. It will find any possible route and create it automatically. This chapter describes how the Router is used, the next chapter will briefly describe how routes can be created by hand.

-Rocrail has to be closed and restarted after running the Router.
 Four routes have been generated because (only) these four routes are possible if the plan is used in running direction (clockwise as indicated by the direction tracks): Block 01 (minus side) to block 03 (minus side), block 02 (-) to block 03 (-), 03 (+) to 01 (+) and 03 (+) to 02 (+). \\
