so i should ignore the program assigned directions and re-define them based on the train travelling in a loop. the layout is 2 connected loops and all sections except 2 are single blocks.

Tony,
As you are talking about Sections, I assume you mean defiining them in the Sections table (and than use them in the Layout Editor panel with Dispatcher etc).
First, can you confirm you have read the ? Under Add - point 6. it tells you:
Where possible, the program entered FORWARD or REVERSE for you. If it couldn't determine direction unambiguously, it entered?UNKNOWN. You must assign all UNKNOWN Travel Directions before the new Section can be created. Important Note:?Travel Direction assignments must be consistent.?If the new Section has only one Block, it's not important which direction you choose as FORWARD, but once you make that choice, all assignments must conform to it. If the new Section has multiple Blocks, the FORWARD direction is the direction a train would travel if moving from the top Block toward the bottom Block. (in the table)
You can choose either CW or CCW, but after you have defined the first Section/Block FORWARD travel direction, stick with that for the whole Dispatcher set-up.
Use BACKWARDS if in this or another Transit you return to a Block driving in the opposite direction, perhaps after a return loop or reversing your train.
As soon as you miss a Section from the drop down, it could be a sign that you entered the wrong Travel Direction (you can later correct this without deling a Section, so no panic)
