To provide a method for installing a flexible track system.SOLUTION: For a variable height base system 121 that connects a base attaching system 107 and a plurality of flexible tracks 110 in a flexible track system 115 to each other, at least one of a plurality of heights 111 or a plurality of angles 122 is selected. At least one of the plurality of heights 111 or the plurality of angles 122 for the variable height base system 121 maintains at least one of: a desired distance 118 between the plurality of flexible tracks 110 and a surface 120 of a structure 102 to which the base attaching system 107 is attached; and a state in which the plurality of flexible tracks 110 in the flexible track system 115 match a contour 128 of the surface 120 of the structure 102. The flexible track system 115 is attached to the surface 120 of the structure 102.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】可撓性軌条システムを取り付けるための方法を提供する。【解決手段】ベース取付システム１０７と、可撓性軌条システム１１５における複数の可撓性軌条１１０とを接続する可変高さベースシステム１２１について、複数の高さ１１１又は複数の角度１２２のうちの少なくとも一つが選択される。前記可変高さベースシステム１２１についての前記複数の高さ１１１又は前記複数の角度１２２のうちの少なくとも一つにより、前記複数の可撓性軌条１１０と、前記ベース取付システム１０７が取り付けられた構造体１０２の表面１２０との間の所望距離１１８を維持すること、又は、前記可撓性軌条システム１１５における前記複数の可撓性軌条１１０が、前記構造体１０２の前記表面１２０の輪郭１２８に合致した状態を維持すること、のうちの少なくとも一方が行われる。前記可撓性軌条システム１１５は、前記構造体１０２の前記表面１２０に取り付けられている。【選択図】図１
