  3. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. [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!

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  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. Track tilting

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

  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. 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.

  17. Add track near edge of board automatically selects valid orientation

    Bug when placing track near board edge. Express 6.2.6 1177, LGB track library

    Steps to reproduce:

    • lay track section near edge of layout (e.g. turnout pointing up near top edge)

    • select track section that will fit in some orientations but not others (e.g. curved section)

    Expected behaviour:

    • default orientation will fit if possible, hitting space to cycle orientations won't select illegal placements

    Actual behaviour:

    • default orientation sometimes will not fit. Cannot place track section to 'space' through to working orientation

    Alternative expected behaviour:

    • allow illegal placement but indicate this by colour or some such. Don't allow additional tracks to be…

  18. startup window size not always full screen

    On startup / new file / open file, the window always seems to expand to the borders of the screen area. Most apps open to cover only a portion of the screen, and their documents remember their window location & size on close and re-open.

    Suggestions:

    • opening an existing document restores the previous window size & location

    • option for new documents to occupy less than the entire visible area

  19. 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

  20. Smooth change of track angle

    It is not possible to smoothly change the track gradient. With large inclination angles, it would be good idea to gradually increase or decrease the track angle in the initial (and final) section.
