# 2.2.15.3 Adding Block Gaps

The Split command can be used to add block gaps (Section B.2) at the point where two track endpoints join. Block gaps are drawn as a thick line and can be placed in either of the rails or both if total isolation is required.

  No Block Gaps

  Block Gap in top rail

  Block Gap in bottom rail

  Block Gaps in both rails

After executing the Split command use the Shift+Right-Click command to display one of two pop-up menus which can be used to add, change or remove block gaps for the selected endpoint.

  This menu appears if track runs in a horizontal direction.

  This menu appears if track runs in a vertical direction.
