Re-associate turnout to an alignment

When you create a new alignment, break a alignment and lose the turnouts or import a geometry it would be good to be able to re-associate or change the alignment to which a turnout are associated/connected to.For instance when I´m working with a c...

Productivity enhancements to Corridor Objects dialog

There are currently some things needed to be added to the Corridor Object dialog to help communicate design intent a bit better to users (especially with Parametric Constraints): The lack of information as to the rules linked to Parametric Constra...

Make editing catchment areas more user friendly

When you initially create a drainage area from a shape, it creates 'smart' vertices that you can grab and move with the cursor. However, after the initial catchment shape is created, the only way to add additional vertices is using the "Insert Ver...

Upgrading from XSLT 1.0 to XSLT 3.0

XSLT 3.0 introduces several new features and improvements that can enhance the development process, increase efficiency, and provide better results. Performance Improvements: XSLT 3.0 includes optimizations that can significantly improve the perfo...

Use Cells for creation of sleepers

Support use of cell definitions for sleeper placements. Long sleeper sets placed at turnout locations, have variable width so these will still be using existing box shaped sleepers but normal sleepers will be using the cell based definitions. This...

Modify the LLS part when placing a turnout.

Currently one could add an LLS part on a turnout. Unfortunately this is a standard value. Sometimes, when creating a horizontal geometry, it is necessary to ''shorten'' the LLS part (aka to place a fewer amount of long sleepers that a standard LLS...

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...

Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..
