SLIF Export equivalent to v4.1 (XML Export)
Version 4.1 supported SLIF file exports that could be imported into iRunTrains or other applications. RailModeller-Pro seems to be lacking this feature.

Ballast approximate volume/weight ("semi-wild guess"...) for covering a determined area would be a good feature.
Approximate needs of ballast (volume) the layout, considering as parameters things like: linear length of track to be ballasted, scale, depth of ballast etc.
1 voteAfraid it would be hard to come up with a formula that yields a realistic result across all model scales. We suggest to use the overall track length (Sidebar > Document > Layout Info) and multiply this value for your layout with a factor that works for your layout.

Drawing a layout or connecting sections of layout with freeform curves and "autofilling" with flex-track
I would like an easier way of creating smooth curves that span multiple lengths of flex-track. Currently trying to do it by manipulating individual lengths of track it is nearly impossible to create a smooth transition spanning multiple connected lengths. The curve tool should allow you to connect to existing track at one or both ends and allow you to add, remove and manipulate multiple control points. Ideally you could then "auto-fill" the curve with selected flextrack, and then have the ability to adjust the split points between each length by sliding within an indicated range.

Ability to adjust height over switches and crossings
Current switches and crossings are not allowed to have a gradient. In real life they have, this is especially necessary to run railroad cars over the hump

Separated mode
Possibility to have the panels with tracks etc separated from the layout. In the current form they are in the wame window which steals lots of space from the layout when working on more than one screen.

Track radius and baseboard
Cannot begin without a table and room. Cannot continue without knowing the radius for curves.
1 voteInsufficient information.
Might be referring to requests already tracked:

Edit fastrack menu by radius of curves and switches and length of straights
The current arrangement by date of issue makes no sense.

You’d be looking for the sorting options in the Library Catalog -
When clicking the gears icon and choosing ‘Sort by Type’ this exact sorting will be used. -
Import height map for terrain
Bonus points for being able to generate/edit these in app.

overlay background picture to allow for modelling track layouts from old plans/maps
To be able to use the old track plan diagrams for production of realistic track layout from historical periods. i have the track plan diagram for Evesham from 1922 a joint station between GWR and MR in the UK before Big 4 grouping

Label the tools
Have the names of the tools (& tool icon size) be an option in the tool bar... you know... Just like MOST Mac OS Apps...
1 voteThe tool names (and hot keys) are shown in the tooltip when resting the mouse over any tool.

Object property locks
It would be convenient to be able to lock objects x & y (position), rotation, elevation, or grade, etc. so they can't accidentally be changed.

Ability to reset ruler x/y zero point
Using the shape command I drew a rectangle representing 14 foot long by 5.5 foot wide table I will build the layout on. I've set the document size considerably larger than this to create space around my table and moved it into the center of the document layout.
It would be really helpful if I could reset the ruler zero point to the table corner (the way Adobe Illustrator allows) and have the X and Y coordinates follow suit.

Ability to skip blank pages when printing.
When printing full size, it would be nice if blank pages (pages defined maybe as no track in them and no shapes could be skipped. Currently you have to export to PDF and then delete the blank pages before printing.

Joining with flex and flex generally only seems to have one control point;
Joining with flex and flex generally only seems to have one control point;
Can you revert to the V4 functionality where there are by defailt 2x control points on the curve, and potentially let me add in any number.1 vote -
Create a comment for a grouped object.
At times, I create several objects and group them together. You can no longer add a comment to the object.

Spline Points in Polygon
I have to add a lot of points to design a polygon for mountains and rivers. A spline point would make it better and faster.

Hierarchical layers
The possibility to group layers adds a great bit of flexibility and can help to maintain a clean structure. For instance, when working on a design that encloses two rooms, it would be nice to have those rooms modeled as parent layers with all the different structures as child layers. This functionality can be seen in almost any CG software, e.g. Photoshop.

Total price of the flex tracks.
It is a problem already emerged in version 4 is particularly evident for modular systems.
When calculating the price of flex tracks it does not take into account the length, but the number of clips used.
In a my module are 6 clips for a total of 224,6cm that are easily obtainable from three flex tracks (3 = int (224.6 / 89) +1).
Note: 89 is the length of the Tillig flex track used.
Since the unit cost is 4.11 €, I expect a totalprice of 12.33€ but is reported 24,66 € considering for each full length even if a…5 votes -
Inside and outside rail lengths for curved flexible track
To help with cutting flexible track to the correct length it would help if both the inside and outside track lengths are reported in the inspector for curved track
