Include info about side/hand of turnout from the tip of the turnout (Point 1) looking towards the toe (point 2)

Especially in reports but also in models we need to add information about turnout type including a letter showing towards which side looking from point 1 towards point 2, the branch is oriented. As it is now turnouts with Leading orientation will ...

Re-associate turnout to an alignment

When you create a new alignment, break a alignment and lose the turnouts or import a geometry it would be good to be able to re-associate or change the alignment to which a turnout are associated/connected to.For instance when I´m working with a c...

Turnout points for tounge position

In railway engineering, there is a growing demand for positioning of the tongue in turnouts. The proposal is to introduce a new point in the Feature Definition of turnouts, making it possible to specify the distance from point .1 to the Tongue. Su...

Have both turnouts as ''free'' when calculating a crossover

When calculating a crossover geometry (2 turnouts+geometry in between) it could be beneficial if both turnouts (beginning and end) could be set as free. This would be beneficial in cases when two tracks are not totall parallel and the only option ...

Incorrect arc radius for turnout outer curve switch.

For turnout annotation, we need to add turnout with LLS Extension from the library. I know that it is possible to add LLS radius value for a defined curved turnout in the library, but for a complex project where there are a lot of curved turnouts ...

Equilateral turnouts as a separate element with its own geometry for both main and deviating track

Currently, in order to create en equilateral turnout, one needs to recreate one of the branches (with exact geometry) and then add the branch part. This process has a lot of inconsistencies and sometimes results in unexpected geometries ( transiti...
