  1. Shortcut to insert track

    For each catalog of elements,I would like to be able to assign key shortcuts to the elements I often use, so that when I type those keys, the corresponding element would be inserted at the position of the mouse pointer.

    To assign a shortcut, I would select an element in the catalog pane, use the popup menu to select "Add a shortcut" and type the key (or key combination). If the key combination is already taken by another element in the same catalog, an option to remove it from the old element is given. If it's a key combination that…

  2. SCARM Import/Export

    I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I exchange data regularly with people who are not using railmodeller. SCARM seems to be a frequently used package in the Windows world, so an import/export feature would facilitate exchanges.

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. Track tilting

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

  10. 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…

  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.

  16. Duplicate entire selection

    Duplicate should copy and paste the entire selection. I'm only getting the last section of track selected.

    I cannot replicate the issue -

    Edit > Duplicate does duplicate the entire selection as to my testing.

    There might be some confusion here what the context menu is and how it works - it operates on the context (element), NOT any selection.

  17. Delete on the context menu delete entire selection

    Currently only deletes the last selected item

  19. Display messages in floating bubbles

    Display messages in floating bubbles instead of in the status bar. It took me a while to discover that something was there.
    On errors, remove the 'flying-in' effect. Feels very old fashioned.

  20. Tools menu

    The Tools should be presented as a menu "Tools" (as well). Many of the functions could probably find a place in the context menu also.
    It feels a bit of "the wrong way around" to first have to select a tool, and then the element to work on. I selected an element first, then clicked a tool, and nothing happened. To make a comparison with a text editor: you first select the text, then click 'Bold', and not the other way around. Of course, if Bold is active, all new text becomes bold as well.

    Also, indicate clearly which tool…
