Currently, the workflow to achieve this is in general case (including canted track) where profile = lower rail elevation is : Create lower rail of branch line: horizontal offset create rails on main: create rails command Extend slope defined by ma...

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...

In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...

Users need the ability to specify different element templates for profile symbology of turnouts. Some rail clients in North America are using custom line styles for their turnouts. These custom line styles need to be different in the profile view,...

Users need a way to annotate the same way SS2 would annotate with the Switch Height Plan command. Partial lengths along the alignment need to be annotated, but there is not a way to do this in OpenRail. The workaround is to create a dummy alignmen...

To comply with US railroads standards, we need to place agency-specific cells at the turnouts. The cells must snap to either PS (point .1) or PITO (point .0). Right now these points are not snappable, neither graphically identifiable which makes m...

The idea is similar to parametric civil cell: we need a tool to place the ties along the turnout. The ties must be of different lengths, placed at different spacing, and must follow the alignments from and to specifically identified points. The ti...

In US and Canadian standards, the turnouts are defined from switch point, and the distance between point of switch ( .1) and PITO (intersection, as point .0) is the most critical distance. As right now, there is no prompt available in turnouts fea...

Currently the turnout feature definition only supported non-US convention and methodology. It is only based on ratio which is not well suited for US and Canadian users. North American rail standards are based the actual frog and switch angles expr...

Please let the properties show which alignment a turnout is attached to. It is sometimes difficult to make sure on which alignment the turnout is placed on if the alignments are partly on top of each other.
