Part list management (Stock)
In the old version we had the feature to crate a stock list of existing parts, so you could, during development, compare your actuel needs against the available. Needless to say that tis influenced the layout at the end.

Preview a 'close the gap' connection when selecting it, without clicking 'apply'.
Currently you have to click 'ok' to view a connection when using the 'close the gap' smart insert. And when you want to try a different option, it has to redo the whole search process. It would be nice if you could preview the found connections just by selecting them. Not even a 'preview' button or so. Just select one from the list and it would be visible in the layout right away. And then click ok to keep it, or cancel of course.

Movement of shapes with arrow keys.
Movement of shapes with arrow keys one pixel at a time. It's too difficult to be precise with the mouse or trackpad.

Easy drawing of dimensions
I'd like to be able to draw dimensions on the layout. This would be really helpful for track building.
At present I have to use the ruler to measure and then draw manually the dimension, it is a real pain.

Change the dimensions of document.
After changing the layout to a smaller than before the document keeps the old size.

a layout grid that can be switched from inches and feet to millimetres and centimetres in an easy way.
Currently it is impossible to set the grid to fractions of inches and feet, unless I am missing something. You can set the doc to inches or feet and the layout grid in various ways, but I can't see any way to have it display inches and feet. Many manufacturers use inches and feet, so we really need this. At least we need inches with with proper fractions.

An easier way to draw the table top (Baseboards)
Draw the shape of the table in one step, marking its corners by clicking once.

The ability to elevate double track, crossing and switches
Pretty self-explanatory, without it, the elevation feature is close to useless
31 votesThe Update to RailModeller Pro 5.1.2 now handles crossings and switches in graded track sections
-
Shift-select to select a range of track
Click one track, shift select further down the track, and have it select all the tracks in between (shortest path). This would let you colour sidings and mainlines and the like much more easily.

A hot key that inserts a track at the end of the last track that was inserted ("continue track")
This would allow one to create a curve by extending the track like now, then hitting this new hot key 4 times, instead of having to carefully hit the end of each track 4 times. This would be similar to how space bar swaps the direction of the curve easily.

Select all adjacent tracks of the same colour
Being able to select all the adjacent tracks of the same colour, rather than all the tracks of that colour on the whole plan or layer, would make it easier to correct the colour of subsections of the layout without having to disconnect that section, colour it, then reconnect it.

Google Maps as background
Planning of realistic stations and tracks would be much easier, if Google Maps could be opened, moved and zoomed to fit in a background-layer. With this, one could position tracks exactly as in reality.
31 votesNow possible with image import in version 5.2!
-
Adjustable tolerance for sectional track joints.
Allow for an adjustable tolerance, i.e. a "snap-to" angle adjustment for sectional track. Duplicating plans from magazines often results in sections that do not connect in RM, but will in real life without much stress on the tracks.

A full window without floating panel as option
Just like in photoshop, add the possibility to have a full window without floating panels.

Change flexible track length/radius at any time
Now: if you select a flexible track to change its length and/or radius, the actual value jumps back to standard which is absolutely needless. The chosen values must stay and we need the chance to change exactly these values as often as we want.
