It would seem that in some cases the gradient markers are automatically placed when laying track, also showing the red triangle. In other cases when snapping multiple sections in sequence the track continues with no indication of a joint or gradient marker. Any idea what circumstances cause this?

My approach to the one-sider problem is to set the end of the ribbon with the one-sider pin down to terrain, then fly to the next pin along the adjacent ribbon that still is not at terrain or at grade. Click once on the pin there, and the far end that I just flew from snaps to the pin of the ribbon that I previously dropped to terrain. It seems to remember that it's joined to the next ribbon at the other end, but it doesn't snap down until I click on that intermediate pin.
Tori's term "pins" is much better than "gradient markers"... we have enough things called markers already!I vote we adopt that term.
