I'm looking for ANY documents, videos, tips, learning video, SIG video, techtalk or whatever source that can help me understand how to create my custom element for Openrail. I have some old stuff that I found online about Railtrack but many things no longer relate to the way Openrail works.
How the software create the spiral and curves inside the turnout? We need to understand how the software work.
Surely Bentley have something, anything, that explain how to create turnout, crossing and crossover switch.
Because right now the help file of Openrail 2019 r2 does not include NOTHING, not even the turnout diagram that explain what points are what.
Thanks
Regards
Hi Jeremie;
Normally in the help file we have turnout schematics and bending methods;

but somehow this get lost in the r2 release help document, above is from r1 release. I will make sure to put it back together with more information about creating a turnout. Thank you for letting us know. In the meantime if you have an example turnout to create, I can help you with how to input as a new definition. You can also reach me with e-mail (kivanc.karakas@bentley.com).
Also if you have your definitions already in old formats (txt or xml) you can directly import them into OpenRail Designer.

The txt import doesn't work. Also I am looking for a more interactive way to define turnouts in OpenRail designer as it was in BRT. The ratio definition is for example working only on ratio based, not anymore angle based. The schematic view is also no more available. Any help on this? I am working in imperial environment, the measurements on my screen are in feet, but the attribute window of the same AREMA turnout is showing all the lengths in meters... I am doing something wrong?
