In 2021 R1 there is an issue with slope annotation when annotating the vertical changes in plan.
The slope has a factor 0.10, so 1% is displayed as 0.1%
It is fixed in the upcoming version that should be released by the end of this year.
Please find some few useful (I believe they are) regression reports posted in the Files section:

Bentley is proud to announce the release of OpenRoads ConceptStation Update 14!
Conceptual Rail Network Design Software
New edition to the product includes tools for:
Until current release 2021 R1 (10.10.00.81) slew information in the regression point properties is the offset measured from the geometry to the point.
It means that if you move the track to the right of the point, the slew value is negative.
In many countries we used to annotate/report this as positive, so slew is measured from the point to the geometry.
It is already logged and is targeted for 2021 R2:Enhancement 1131174…
You may forget this tool, as I often do, because a bit hidden in Geometry>Design Elements.
Usually quicker to access using the search ribbon field (top right, F4).
As an example you can set one for volumes and include all feature definitions you are using for what is being created by the cut/fill volume command.
A quick way to select and delete if you want to run the create cut/fill volume in the same file.

Just as an exercise I created a civil cell for turnout that creates the vertical as well.French bending method is applied. Main purpose is to give idea not to replace turnout functionality.
I also added Features/Features Definition to allow quick annotation on plan and profile.It can be enhanced to do more.

We all know that regression tools are still better in Rail Track (ALG) than in OpenRail and we are looking forward 2020-R3 for new capabilities.
However, Rail Track SS10, preferred to any other v8i because it includes new licensing system, can do the job.Then you can continue modelling in OpenRail.
So the question is what's happening if I change the geometry in the ALG ?
As long as you import from the same Geometry…
In 2020-R2 (10.08.01.33) you may find an issue with validate data dialog that looks empty.
It is probably due to incorrect or missing setting file under %localappdata%\Bentley\OpenRailDesigner\10.0.0\prefs\civil
I attach files to this post.
In the french version both cant editor columns title and validate data properties are in english.That is why you will find files with suffix "- EN" and "- FR".
Sometime you get this message and don't understand why because the alignment you place the turnout onto is long enough.

I often want to get some planar elements when I want to use them to create regions. It is one example from many.
A new command has been introduced with MicroStation Connect Edition. It is MicroStation, no need for other software.
Search the ribbon for:
SET ELEMENT ELEVATION
You may have found issue accessing the local help. It should be possible using File>Settings>User>Preferences: Help Settings but it doesn't work well and it does always open Online Help.
You could change MS_HELP_LOAD_USEBROWSER to 0, to force using local help.
You could also let everything as it is and add a button to the ribbon with following keyin:

The best workflow is to create a reality mesh (3SM).
Scalable Terrain Model still exists but 3SM offers greater capabilities.
The good thing is that the workflow is almost the same than using STM.
You will get the full…

I am having a data set of Existing Rail Top Spot levels for a lenght of 2 Km;
Imported in Rail Track - Gometry Project as Cogo-Points. Now, I require auotmatic alignmnet fitting on rail spot levels in Horizontally and Vertically.
Would like to change Horizontal slew up to 50 mm and Vertically lift up to 50mm, for which Regression has to be carriedout.
Since, I dont have any existing other rail track data, except only…
how does this tool work if a wish to break up a slope evenly with benching? it doesnt seem to terrace a slope evenly with any input i have put in...
When using InRail's component "End Condition" properties how does create benching or terracing?... if I am using this box?? the benching? how wide? is that with step elevation? from datum... it is unclear the relationship between these and the resulting behavior with input... if the datum is 30 and step elevation 5 ... shouldn't it extrapolate an even division along the slope?
This is my first post, hopefully someone can help?
I want to be able to plot a platform adjacent to a designed centreline in Railtrack.
I have a spreadsheet of heights and offsets and chainages that takes into account end/centre throw and cant effects of the design.
I need to apply these offsets 'normal' to the alignment in order to generate co-ordinates along the platform edge at 2m intervals.
I'm not sure…
