Cant offset rotation option for Tunnels

An additional rotation option is needed for cant application. This is an offset point from the track centreline location. Offset point is a user defined value and defined in the tool interface. When Center Offset is selected as rotation option, tw...

Tabular profile annotation to include speed table values

As a light rail design engineer I want to produce profiles with a lot of information to be able to check a maximum amount of information on a single document.On critical information for light rail design is the maximum speed. This is because light...

Support "Apply Mainline Cant Through Turnout" in Create Cant command

This tool works for the branch geometry that is starting with a tunout. While creating the cant it applies the same cant value it read from main track geometry to the start of the turnout geometry. Also tool needs to have an option to change rotat...

Add option to use only centerline radius for superelevation calculations

Provide an option or new method to use the centerline radius (instead of inside lane radius) for divided highways that use a Crown pivot method. The Divided Inside pivot method already does this for divided highways that pivot about the inside lan...

Use Cells for creation of sleepers

Support use of cell definitions for sleeper placements. Long sleeper sets placed at turnout locations, have variable width so these will still be using existing box shaped sleepers but normal sleepers will be using the cell based definitions. This...
