So much for 2D, this is application is called 3D Railroad after all. The twice around layout in 3D. You can choose from a number of backdrops. Building the ramps and the bridge was only possible using flex track. It was not possible to put a single slope into a group on sectional track. It would be nice to have a bezier tool in the vertical dimension.
Vertical position can only be input at either end of a section of track, via a dialog box.
Objects such as trees, buildings and bridges are easily added from the supplied libraries. The manipulation of the 3D objects is at times a bit clumsy. Adding topography is another matter. There is no mention of it in the manual. I suppose a lot of patience and the 2D drawing tools could produce the desired results.
