Requesting for a tool that would allow the user to automatically draw plan clearance or boundary lines based on design standards and geometry for the Rail Design module.
Clearance lines offsets depend on the curve radius, transitions, dynamic aspects, and the location, e.g. platform, railyard, tunnel, etc. These offsets also vary from standard to standard, depending on the country. As well, clearance profiles may vary according to rolling-stock provider, gauge, and age of the railroad facility.
As of today, these clearance lines must be drawn manually. There are some Country Kits that include some clearance-profile subassemblies, but these, and the corridor-modelling workflow do not capture the described needs.
Please, consider incorporating a tool to draw clearance lines automatically for rail design.
