How can I design a turnout in 3D. Not only the rail but also all other details, such as sleepers, tongues, etc

Up to now the rails of the turnout can be created in 3D as 3D rails, but the turnout has many other elements, above all the sleepers are divided and all have different dimensions. How could this be created as 3D elements?

External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...

Change Text Favorite element attachment/selections

When using text favorites that are based on an alignment (station/offset), these text favorites can break if the alignment changes or is dropped or it can't find it. As far as I know, when this happens, there is no way to reassign the text favorit...
