Needs Further Enhancement

Have finally just upgraded my Macbook from RailModeller to RailModeller Pro and I would have to say I'm somewhat disappointed. There seems to be a loss of some functionality. The original 3D views whilst a little flawed were more than adequate. The 3D view in the new version needs a lot of development. Graphics are better but the tool bar seems to lack some options. Adding new tracks inplace seems to only work intermittently or requires very fine positioning of mouse cursor. Hopefully, there will be some improvements over time.

Rail Modeller Pro 6.0.10

I have just started using this package after trying Rail Modeller Express.
I had difficulty re-opening layouts at first because it used the same file extension as Sketch-Up. This was solved by an email to the help desk who advised removing Sketch Up.
I am still learning and would appreciate some more involved video tutorials showing how to make the layout design come to life in the 3D view.
Lots to learn but enjoying the journey.
I can’t compare it to others as I have always drawn my layouts by hand previously.

Fantastic tool, great support

It's so easy to use, and creating a plan is very friendly. Even complicated layouts like Helixes are trivial. Cannot be beat on any environemnt (but runs so smoothly on a mac).

I recently reached out with an issue, and their support was second to none - very quick to get back, and they found a solution for my issue really quickly. I'm VERY glad I purchased this one!
