Grade and Height adjustments
Height adjustments are a pain. Start over. Make them intuitive. One adjustment to close gaps should not wipe out an entire grade or reset the height of an entire layer.
-
Maintenance update 6.4.25 improves the Close Gap and Connect with Flex Track assistants:
Both now handle connecting tracks on different levels automatically grading the inserted tracks. -
Needs the ability to copy existing grades from tracks, paste to apply to other tracks to easily set the same grade to arbitrary tracks in layout.
-
RailModeller Pro 6.0.4 introduces the "Shift Tracks Up/Down" functionality to adjust track heights for an arbitrary selection of track elements whilst keeping the grades.
-
The interactive height adjustment tool is scheduled for an upcoming v6.x release
-
Absolutely - multiple tracks should be easy to adjust in height no matter how they're connected. The planned 'Change Height' tool is supposed to address this (in the coming weeks).

My workflow often includes creating the layout and then start to fine tune and change height where needed. I know this is not as designed but what happens is that I get the "Selection consists of multiple track sections" message when trying to change, for example, a small station are that consists of a couple of switches. Would be great if a whole section could be changed independent on how they are connected.

Also in relation to https://railmodeller.uservoice.com/forums/249335-railmodeller-feature-requests/suggestions/11535912-be-able-to-relatively-adjust-height-of-multiple-tr
a new tool to simply push/pull a track to adjust its (+ connected tracks) height while keeping grades could make track height adjustments less tedious. -

A more visible window in the tool bar that displays the height of any selected track and wanting of if it's insertion will effect adjacent tracks would prevent errors and save tedious regrading and height readjustments.

An universal height control on the tool bar would help.

Thanks for the feedback -
could you name some of the other programs you've mentioned so we can have a look? Cheers!
