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 value, if you try it'll shift EVERYTHING as necessary, then position the element you tried to edit at an arbitrary 0.98" from the wall. I'd rather that not happen :) so my preference, would be let me break through the wall and fix that later, rather than tossing all my careful positioning out the window.
Not currently planned

That's helpful, it eliminates the automatic shifting. I still would like to see negative values allowed, so that if I for example try to rotate something in place and it puts it off the positive grid, it lets me rotate it and then move - rather than just refusing to rotate, then having to move it out, rotate it, and move it back into place.

Hello Sean -
you can just remove the padding in your RailModeller Pro preferences if you'd rather like to use the available space in the drawing canvas right up to the border.
You can also set the mode to Fixed to prevent automatically adapting the drawing canvas!Hope this helps,
Jan
