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...

Verify Turnout

Use the Geometry Connector with start and end elements chosen as turnouts. The converged result gives a disconnection between the regression alignment and the turnout. You can only discover it by zooming in to the closest possible view. A "Verify ...

Include info about side/hand of turnout from the tip of the turnout (Point 1) looking towards the toe (point 2)

Especially in reports but also in models we need to add information about turnout type including a letter showing towards which side looking from point 1 towards point 2, the branch is oriented. As it is now turnouts with Leading orientation will ...

Turnout points for tounge position

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...

Incorrect arc radius for turnout outer curve switch.

For turnout annotation, we need to add turnout with LLS Extension from the library. I know that it is possible to add LLS radius value for a defined curved turnout in the library, but for a complex project where there are a lot of curved turnouts ...

Add Profile Feature Symbology for Turnouts

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,...

Need to annotate partial alignment lengths along turnout from point of switch to start/end

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...

Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...
