Developing turnouts in the new software can be quite cumbersome. If there was a wizard that allowed users to input known common pieces of geometry in a more descriptive and graphical fashion, it would help significantly. When geometry elements are defined program should be able to automatically calculate turnout triangle properties. That is based on geometry definition, all the schematic lengths and angles can be calculated, like Ratio At 0, Length 0 to 2, Length Along Mainline etc...

An update to the turnout schematic points would also be helpful. Having additional points for use in creation would allow users more options to draw and measure rather than to calculate specific points in the turnout, such as the heel of frog point. There are many instances where there are deflection angles at the switch which need to be accounted for within the turnout geometry and these are not well defined in the currently ORLD properties section.
