+Rocrail offers in the context menue (right mouse button) the following track types:
+{{rr_tracks_def0_en.png}}
+After creating a track you can change the properties of the element using the context menu (right mouse click on the element):
+{{rr_tracks_def1_en.png}}
+  * **Properties**: Displays and allows to change all properties of the element
+  * **Delete**: Removes the element irrevocably from the track diagram
+  * **Rotate**: Rotates the element's symbol in the track diagram per click by 90 degrees
+  * **Type**: Allows to change the type of an element, e.g. 'Straight' to 'Curve'
+**Straight**
+{{symbols:straight.png}}\\
+Rocrail uses this element to display a straight track on track diagram.
+Using the right mouse button on this element and choosing 'Properties' you get following dialog:
+{{rr_tracks_def2_en.png}}
+| **Attribute** | **Description** | **Comment** |
+| ID | A unique ID, which is used by Rocrail to address the element. This ID is usually assigned by Rocrail. | You should be very careful, if you modify the original value. |
+| Block ID | Allows you to assign the track to a block or sensor. | Based on this assignment the track will be marked as occupied. As reference either the given block or sensor is used. NOTE: Not all track themes do support this feature. |
+| Route IDs | Routes | |
+| Type | Type of track element | Change the type of a track by specifying it here. You might change a curve into a straight. |
+The tab 'Location' is described in chapter [[track-diagram-elements-en|Track diagram elements]].
+**Curve**
+{{symbols:curve.png}}\\
+This element is used by Rocrail to present curves in the track diagram.
+The handling and the dialogs of curves are the same as for straight tracks.
+**Direction**
+{{symbols:dir.png}}\\
+Currently this element doesn't have any impact on controlling the layout. It might be used to display defined directions in routes in the track plan.
+**Buffer**
+{{symbols:buffer.png}}\\
+This element presents a buffer in the track diagram and has the same properties as a straight track.
+**Connectors**
+{{symbols:connector.png}}\\
+Every two of these objects are used to define Track sections if they should not or can not be displayed:
+  * Crossings of other objects (e.g. Track routes)
+  * Transitions between Trackplan levels
+  * Avoiding many non-functional Track objects (__**[[goldenrules-en|Good practice]]**__)
+Further details are described in the section __**[[router-en#connector|Router "connector"]]**__.
