Geometry Connector: automatically use turnout radius when connecting an arc to a turnout

When using Geometry Connector to connect turnouts, it is often that we must extend the last arc of the turnout. Because the arc is in the turnout we cannot extend it. Instead, we must add an arc of same radius. It would be nice that in such situat...

Normal/parallel offset in vertical profile

In ORD it is possible to do a Profile Offset Transition. This methode makes a vertical offset. In case of a slope, the difference between the vertical offset and the normal/parallel offset is different. For large slopes, this is differences is too...

Separate vertical alignment model from horizonal geometry

One of my biggest pain points about ORD is if the horizontal geometry is dropped or broken, the vertical is consequently lost as well. This creates significant rework from a design and plan production standpoint (connected named boundaries). One w...
