Cant not importing correctly or working properly in OpenRail

Try Saving the File With a Different Name and to a Different Location
Before getting into technical fixes, try to save the file with a different name at a different location. As it turns out, if the file has been copied from an external source, Word will not be able to save it with its original name on your system.

So, to fix the issue, consider changing the file name and saving it in a different location. Here's how to do it.

Click on File at the top bar.
Choose Save As from the left pane.
Choose a different location this time and give the file a different name.
Click on Save.

Regards,

Will

I don't see any issue with cant import at the moment (2020-R1). What version are you using ?

Also maybe not related to the version but something with the setting like imperial/metric.

Did you all resolve the 83.333 import factor issue? We are having the same concern (OpenRail 10.07.03.18)

Thanks

The working units are the same.

I attached a copy of the ORD cant file but I got an error uploading the alg file. Is there another way I can send it to you to troubleshoot?

Did you check the working units ? It looks like a mismatch between ALG units and design file units.

I don't experience any issue with ALG import (2019-R2 10.07.03.17) except the equilibirium factor. But I can select all cant and change using properties dialog.

How do I fix it in OpenRail import? When I import the cant it doesn't give me any options other than selecting the alignments I want to import. Where is the setting or preference for applying this factor hiding?

Yes you are correct. The cant point control does not apply to multitracks that doesn't have the same profile.

Concerning the factor it is something to be fixed in OpenRail import

Yes, I'm applying the cant to each tracks rails and centerline point. So basically, the cant tools do not work in a multi-track corridor. My LRT2 and Freight tracks have two completely independent profiles from LRT1. I need them to follow their own verticals. Applying a vertical offset from LRT1 is not a reasonable solution. I'll have a hundred different point controls and still probably won't have the correct profile, and updating that would be a nightmare. I have an idea for how to get around all this, but it's stupid that I can't have multiple tracks following their own profiles and cant alignments in one corridor.

Any ideas on the first question. about the factor being applied to all my cant values when I import into ORD?

I assume you apply the cant from of LRT1 to LRT2 and freight using rails and CL-CANT of LRT2 and freight. But cant base line is alway at corridor reference elevation (used to be like that in Rail Track and I have believe it is the same in OpenRail, but have to confirm). So if you control the LRT2 and Freight alignment vertically it becomes wrong. In this case you must raise LRT2 and Freight rails using vertical offset measured from LRT1 by using the equal sign beside the vertical constraint value.
