An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment At this point grades are restricted to plain tracks, i.e. not for complex tracks like crossing, switches or multi-lane slot car tracks.
The height can be set for any kind of track, though. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Basically print just a smaller section of the entire track plan;
Either the currently visible part or a custom selection.(Ausdruck nur eines wählbaren bzw. des aktuell sichbaren Gleisplans)

This came up a couple of times.. it would be quite a specialized feature but possibly useful for a number of people.
Let’s see how much support it get’s in the feature request system!
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the input! Just trying to understand - when printing is not an option how would being able to automatically draw the center point for curves help in construction?

Searching for articles in the current layout and all track libraries is on our road map for a future update!
An error occurred while saving the comment Searching layouts and track libraries is scheduled for the next major update
An error occurred while saving the comment This should extend to searching the product number (name) and description of all kinds of elements, either in the current layout or the library catalog.

In the short term we're also planning to enable editing the individual coordinates of baseboards (as well as lines, polys, ..), which might also help getting precise baseboard shapes.

While that would be great to have it would also be quite a lot of work.
However, such functionality could be added as a dedicated, similarly priced new app! -

The Library Editor optional add-on for creating and editing custom/private libraries will be available soon
An error occurred while saving the comment Creating custom track libraries will be possible with the Library Editor module currently used internally and to be released as an optional add-on for all users soon.

Eine einfache Straßenerstellung mittels Bezier-Kurve + Angabe der Straßenbreite. Gerne auch mit Farbauswahl und wenn noch Luft ist, mit und ohne Mittelstreifen (auswählbar).

An error occurred while saving the comment Rotating baseboards, turning off all dimensions for baseboards added for update 6.1
An error occurred while saving the comment Hello Karl - the idea of the wizard is to provide starting points for commonly used baseplates. You can simply create the U-baseboard and edit the border lengths or corner points of one leg to change it to the desired dimensions!
Hope this helps.
An error occurred while saving the comment Better support for editing baseboards is planned!
Quick tip:
The contextual menu already offers some options for editing baseboards (when the baseboard layer is active) like ordering baseboards to back/front or duplicating baseboards. -

An error occurred while saving the comment That could be tricky -
How to adjust individual points for a line with an arbitrary number of points when the length is changed?However, editing individual point coordinates would be nice-to-have - plus we already have implemented something very similar in the (not yet publicly available) Library Editor module.

An error occurred while saving the comment 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.
An error occurred while saving the comment The interactive height adjustment tool is scheduled for a v6.x update in early 2018
An error occurred while saving the comment 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).

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.An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback -
could you name some of the other programs you've mentioned so we can have a look? Cheers!

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Harald,
thanks for your input. It's on the to-do list but unfortunately resources for a small project like ours are limited.
An error occurred while saving the comment Additional note:
Max. elevation constraint will be added as an optional setting for each layout.
All layout constraints will appear as messages or warnings and won't prevent users from 'violating' them.An error occurred while saving the comment Max. elevation per layout will be added soon.
Grades >10% - which is already very steep, usually 4-5% shouldn't be exceeded - are a problem since at this much inclination tracks are starting to get significantly shorter (as viewed from above) and we cannot guarantee the connections between tracks make sense any more..

An error occurred while saving the comment Technically it would be relatively easy to detach all tracks in such a hidden/detached layer.
However -
While it could be a useful feature for advanced users it would be potentially dangerous for casual users of the app, i.e. effectively offering an option to "shoot yourself in the foot" when activating this feature by accident and subsequently planning layouts that cannot be built physically. -

Ok – can you tell us the macOS version you’re using?

We'll investigate!

A dedicated function to connect all tracks in the selection and appending each track to its closest neighboring track could be added in the future
An error occurred while saving the comment Quick update: We'll plan to add a 'force connect' function to the app soon once our major update 6.0 has been released to the public later this year or early 2018!
An error occurred while saving the comment Version 5.0.11 also re-introduces an option to highlight tracks that are not connected
An error occurred while saving the comment Version 5.0.11 introduces preferences for track tolerances.
This (optionally) allows tracks to be recognized as connected even if they don't perfectly align. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the input - treating modules pretty much as immutable groups sounds like the best way forward at this point. Possibly with the inclusion of a baseboard!
An error occurred while saving the comment Definitely on the road map at some point.
It would also be awesome to share modules online and allow people to build 'virtual club layouts' by combining the online modules - and share the 'club layouts' online as well, or at least share a picture.. -

Macros are planned for a future update
An error occurred while saving the comment Building blocks should be organized by
- model scale (e.g. all H0 blocks),
- optionally filtered by track library (show only blocks w/ Atlas True Track elements)An error occurred while saving the comment (by Carlo Filippo Follis Carlo Filippo Follis on July 24, 2017)
Often in a large layout, geometries of tracks is equal and are repeated.
It would be useful to create a function to store binary groups. This "Macros" function would make the design of complex layouts faster.
This function may be called, for example, by:
H0 »Tracks » Macros
However, if you choose to create a Menu as Shape or Smart Insert, the user should not abandon the binaries library he has in use.
The name of the Macro must be decided by the user.
Macro should also be subject to the brand of binaries used. For example:– Fleischmann HO Profigleis
– – Macro 1and also:
– Miscellaneous
– – Macro misc 1To better understand the utility of the function you can look at the sample image:
– http://www.carlofilippofollis.name/files/2017/07/railmodeller-idea-n-003-macros.jpgThe function can be useful for tracks but also for groups of building or ...
An error occurred while saving the comment "Some track constructions and standard and repetitive. There is a best way to construct a 72 inch radius reverse loop, a crossover, or parallel track with clearance for long cars on curves. I am sure your users could name many more. You could save them time by adding these to your smart options."

An error occurred while saving the comment = A library of common building blocks, possibly shared between all users, with appropriate categories (by scale or library)
An error occurred while saving the comment General snippet manager would store snippets locally.
Along with community sharing for layouts later this year this could further be extended to include 'public domain' snippets shared by other users.
An error occurred while saving the comment Similar to 'text snippets' in text editors one could mark a selection of tracks and make it available in all layouts for quick access
This same limitation currently applies to slot car tracks with multiple lanes.
