  1. Save/restore selections like PhotoShop, Affinity

    ..for complex selections like track segments or other ranges of tracks it would be handy to store a selection of tracks to restore it a while later while editing other things or switching (or hiding or locking) a layer in a complex layout.

    Other advanced tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop and Affinity Designer or Photo make this possible with a “Select” –> “Save Selection” function.

  2. Side-view of y-axis

    It would help for l-shaped layouts to have a side-view not only for x-axis, but also for y-axis. It could be placed e.g. on the left side of the main screen.

  3. [SHOW LESS] Community Layout - Lego, Carrera

    Many new items in community layouts are for carrera slot car or lego. I am interested only in railway plans.

    Twitter has a SHOW LESS button to tell it not to show tweets for some topic. Proposal: Have a SHOW LESS button for slot car or lego!

  6. Keep the parts and stock window in foreground when the app goes into background

    The parts and stock window are hidden when the app goes
    into background. This is annoying when you try to order your part list on a webshop in the webbrowser. Then the part list is hidden.

  8. Reset "0" Points of layout by clicking in ruler.

    In many drawing and layout programs it is possible to select the zero point by clicking in the ruler. For instance, you could set the zero point anywhere in the layout having positive and negative numbers indicating how far from the zero set point you are.

  10. selection in the Community layouts

    It could be nice that when looking in the community you can also select the scale but also the size of the layout.
    p.e. all layout smaller or equal to 1.5m x 1.0 m.

  11. Conversion of layout between scales

    If I planned N scale layout but now like to see what it looks like in a HO scale I would like to convert my work so I don't need to redo just fix the areas that may not fit due to scale.

  12. Export as DXF

    As a user I want to further use the track plan for designing CNC milling paths or similar. Therefor I need to be able to export the track plan as DXF file.

    Acceptance Criteria:
    - the application provides an additional menu item in the "File" menu to export as DXF
    - when the user chooses the menu item, a file-save dialog is opened and the dialog automatically suggest the ending .dxf
    - in the file-save dialog, an option popover can be shown to select the desired DXF release (e.g. R13)
    - the exported DXF file shall contain the same layer…

  13. Auto Create from a Scan Drawing

    Convert a scanned pen or pencil image, perhaps a PDF, into a rough first pass layout - select the area to convert, set scale, default turnout #(s), fill with flex or approximate with sections. Speeds my workflow from pencil draft to editable RailModeller Pro file.

  14. More options for custom baseboard

    When designing a custom baseboard it is often difficult to draw perpendicular and parallel lines because you can only select the options length and straight while editing a line. The option to lock the line at 0 ( x-axes) or 90 degrees (y-axis) ( or even at ... degrees ) would make the design of the baseboard much easier and exact.

  15. Add scale and more legend elements to custom library

    Add library elements so that we can drag and drop various reference scales with english or metric at fine (1mm or 1/16"), semi-fine (1cm or ⅛") and coarse (20cm or 6")
    1) to confirm printed to actual
    2) provide a context based on the model scale you are working in
    3) or perhaps a refinement of the measure tool in the tool selector

  16. multiple things I have noticed :

    1. command-scroll wheel should zoom in/out (in 2d and 3d view)
    2. in 3d view, shift could be used to select between strafe and rotate
    3. points don't seem to be graded (at least in the 3d view)
    4. the grading assistant needs to display the effect the controls would have on the tracks for better comprehension
    5. import picture should allow for a way to set scale (for instance drawing a line between 2 points and specifying a distance (in whatever unit) this would automatically size the image to fit whatever scale is used (have a control to specify scale on import, too)
    6. the…

  17. Oval helix

    In N-scale often an oval helix is ​​used to reduce the rise under 2% because the locomotives are not that strong for long trains. Therefore it would be nice to add a (3rd) oval shape choice to the Smart Insert of an Helix. The Helix Characteristics should be extended with the length of the straight rail between the bends

  18. Track tilting

    You already have gradient for up and down. Adding a gradient for sideways would allow better modelling of banked tracks.

  19. Combine "Required Parts" with "Visible Layers" and/or "Active Layer"

    This would allow me to see what I need for a particular section of my layout. I split my "up line", "down line", "relief line" and "sidings" out to separate layers, and it'd be useful to be able to see what components I still need to buy for each one.

  20. Allow positioning of elements at negative X/Y/Z coordinates

    I like the ability to position an element at a specific X/Y/Z coordinate in my room. But, if I accidentally position something too close to the zero X/Y position, the ENTIRE layout will shift, to allow room for that new element - which is obviously not ideal behavior.

    It looks like the "Z" position of track will happily go below the "Floor" of the room - which is fine, once we can establish elevation to Shapes I will WANT some areas below the floor (e.g. stairs coming up into the room). But you can't establish a negative X or Y…
