Quote:3rd PlanIt is the most automated, comprehensive and easy-to-use track planning tool ever made. Better tools let you create better designs! Designing a Railroad? Thousands of layouts have been designed and built using 3rd PlanIt. From tabletop Z scale, through 4x8's, room-sized layouts, basement and outbuilding empires and a full-scale ethanol plant, 3rd PlanIt is the CAD software chosen by the most discriminating hobbyists.
3rd PlanIt now includes an incredibly powerful design tool: SoftTrak. Draw track from point to point, while SoftTrak creates the curves and easements automatically. It's like using a multi-segment spline, but made of the same track elements used in prototype railroads. The curve radii and easement lengths are optimized to fit in the available space. You are able to design your layout to professional standards without all the learning!
Take a look at 3rd PlanIt's full features set in the rest of this site, and you'll find everything you need to create a layout you never considered possible.
[u]Whats New[/u]
Do not import zero-length lines from DXF or DWG files. Fix Connect / SoftTrak when used on two parallel lines that do not overlap each other at any point. Improve handling of face and vertex colors in polygons. Prevent crash during rotate of several objects that include a spline.
