Reflect template for template drop

It would be very helpful if we could reflect a template while assigning it to a template drop. Templates currently can only be placed in the direction they were created, from template origin "out". This requires a duplication of templates, as sepa...

Surface Template - "Process Corridor" similar tool

Just add the function to process the template again so it can be updated. This is a major issue when using surface templates with clipping boundaries. If I change the clipping boundary (a simple shape on the 2D model), I have to delete and reapply...

Constraint Labels need to come from a list stored in the ITL

To avoid mistakes from typing in a wrong Label Name, it would be powerful to have the possibility to choose an existing Label Name from a dropdown-list in the dialog box when building Point Constraints in a civil template. The dropdown-list must s...

Superelevation lanes have start and end points by default in tangents

Currently if you place a superelevation lane on a tangent alignment, no points will show up in the superelevation editor. I would like that automatically even in tangent sections, the start and end points are placed in the superelevation editor so...

Create a tool that constructs transitions between different types of rail sections

Sometimes in track design, one must use different types of rails, say 60kg and 50kg rails. One could weld them and grind them together but this is a crude method. In Sweden they use what is called a transition rail, which in principle contain a sm...
