Easements / spirals to a specified minimum radius for a specified degree of curvature
For example, having an easy way to position and connect two perpendicular tangent tracks (a 90° bend) with a smooth spiral in and out of a 24" minimum radius curve.

Add “Anchor point selector” (similar to Affinity, Illustrator, InDesign, ..) for positioning
We often have to modify graphic objects. It would be useful to modify, for example, the length of a rectangle while maintaining the placement of its center point.
This feature would also allow you to know the various anchor points ( X/Y measurements) of the object without having to calculate it. Knowing the different measures is needed to match another graphic element with utmost precision.

Specify custom track bed width (Printing sub-roadbed)
After printing on full size you need to draw the plywood sub-roadbed manually. I would like to see a option for a sub-roadbed with adjustable width. A preview of the sub-roadbed in 3D would also be nice.
33 votesDefinitely on the to-do list!

Natural features like waterfalls, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, etc.
There is another thing I miss. Would be great to have library of natural features like waterfalls, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, etc. And it would be ideal if feature like stream, river would have functionality of free hand adjustment of curvature so it could be fitted into landscape. This would allow us to plan water features flow along layout.
32 votesDedicated tools for rivers and waterways are planned for the future!

Easy way to save / load "track snippets" (Macros / building blocks)

Favorites in Libraries
I am building a layout with Atlas Track but know I want to focus on certian parts and NOT use others. I would love to be able to mark my "favorites" and see them in the list. Would make it much easier to find what I am looking for and protect me from use a snap switch for instance when that isn't my preferred product.
28 votesFiltering the library catalog by favorite elements or elements in stock is on the to-do list!

baseboard elevation
I'm doing a multi-layer layout and would love to have more then 1 base board level, since my 2nd level is just floating in mid air.
So with that, being able to adjust base board level - would be awesome. Also more then 1 base board layer would work well here.

the ability to align shapes drawn with the shape tool where you are able to align the tops, centres or bottoms vertically or horizontally.
I'd like to be able to select multiple shapes and align them but clicking a button. Being able to align the tops, centre or bottom either vertically or horizontally would be great when drawing buildings along the side of a road or track.
24 votesA general alignment feature is scheduled for a future update!

The ability to highlight multiple sections of track and create a parallel section of track
So if you have a highlighted curved section, section with points included or "S" section of multiple track elements. I would be handy to have the ability to create a parallel of it with the options of setting distance apart, exceed minimum and recommended radius warning, follow inside or outside curve of track so as to create parallel track to points radius.

Curve radius presets and options
Many O Scale Locomotives and passenger cars require a minimum radius of O72. According to the creator of fastback most will run on as tight a cutie as O48 at reasonable speeds.
Allow users to preset a minimum curve of O72 with optional use of O60 and O48 curves in specific situations. Concurrently, display only the library for the minimum curve and above unless tighter radiuses are opted for.
17 votesA per-layout minimum radius constraint is scheduled for a future update

Show / hide grades on Document tab
It seems weirdly inconstant to have the Show / hide grades labels under the View tab for often it's used. It should be under Element Labels as a check box

T-TRAK modules for N scale (actual size..)
The T-TRAK standards has modules for simple and corner shape
'Single module size for N-Scale is 12 1⁄8 inches (310 mm) wide by 8 1⁄4 inches (210 mm) deep. Depth of a straight module can be up to the size of a corner module (usually 14 3⁄8 inches (370 mm)). Depth is often 12 inches (300 mm), 13 inches (330 mm), or 14 inches (360 mm) inches, rather than the full size of a corner module. This allows more space for scenery, and does not crowd the center of the table. Corner modules are 14 3⁄8 inches (370 mm) square'

8 votesWe’re planning to add presets for baseboards – user created or ready-made presets bundled with the app – to the baseboard assistant.
Presets for various T-Trak modules as well as commercial vendors (e.g. www.modelrailroadbenchwork.com) would then be offered to e.g. insert a T-Trak single-module with 2-3 clicks!
