feat(editor): a slip goes only where the straights cross at the skos of its template: a Rkpd 1:9 was laid at a crossing of 1:7 or 1:14 as well, shaped for the angle of the tracks there into no slip of the catalogue. The straights crossing at a skos more than 0.14 deg off it, half of what keeps 1:9.51 and 1:10 apart, are refused with the skos they cross at and the slip of the same kind made for it, of the same rail and radius first, or none; a double slip replaced by one of another skos likewise. The panel and the hints say the slip goes at its skos. Selftest: a Rkpd 49E1-190-1:9 laid at 1:9 and 1:9.08, refused at 1:7 with no template for it and at 1:9.51 with Rkpd S42-230-1:9,51 fitting
