When using a circle or an arc in a template component, the software is building linestrings on default level in the 3d model. It is possible to turn off these lines if the Null Point Linear Feature Option is set to False in the template feature de...

On very large projects with hundreds of people working on the project and you need to change a standard you should not have to go thru all of the dgns in the project to update or purge old standards. Most of the time the standards evolve as the pr...

So far Openrail designer contains a tool called create 3D cut for profiles. It is very useful when one wants to show cuts from a 3D section across the track. However one can choose only a specific distance from track. There are cases (for example ...

Accudraw intelligently interprets direction from the last input point. There would be no need to enter + or - on slopes as you move the cursor and lock in direction/distances. The keins would not be necessary if the template editor functioned simi...

It is usual request to annotate 3D features on cross sections. At point or in frame. It does work when feature is 2D+3D but not if feature is 3D only. That is commong with existing ground and more and more with modelling using linear features (wit...

Get a list of elements using a specific feature definition. Similar to level usage. This "select by graphic filter" filter only feature type that compose a terrain model.

From rail companies in Switzerland we receive their rail alignment in form of an .xtr file. This file includes geometry, station, cant, construction and destruction phase and turnout information. Currently the import of an XTR-file in OpenRoads is...

It is often required to annotate slope along sublayers. Typical example is to annotate the top of the subballast in track design. The expression allows to do many things but it doesn't work as expected.Even you specify the point names such as L_Su...

Much like the "Break Void" line where the elevation of the graphic is honored in the Terrain, a "Break Island" should also exist to prevent improper triangulation.

OpenRail now looks like it is behind the 12D Model, after removing good design functions in BRT. In OpenRail, it is hard to have multiple alignment options. For example, you can copy a horizontal design, it will carry a profile, but not cant desig...
