LEGION Release Notes

LEGION 2023 Release Notes

LEGION 2023 brings multiple modelling, analysis and usability improvements across the LEGION Data Template, LEGION Model Builder, and LEGION Simulator.

LEGION Data Template

  • Define different EDOTs for each Service in the Platform-Train Settings sheet.
  • The Origin Settings sheet and the Platform-Train Settings sheet now support up to 300 tables each.

LEGION Model Builder

  • Simultaneously edit multiple Service EDOTs in Service Timetables.
  • Modify Platform edges without deleting and redrawing the Platform (‘unbind’ and ‘rebind’ Platform edges).
  • Automatically detect, alert, and unbind Platform edge CAD when deleting CAD Layers where elements are used for Platform edges.
  • Select CAD on locked CAD Layers when defining PTI Carriages.
  • During CAD import, restore the last-used Import, Simulation and Autonavigation tick box selections for imported CAD Layers.
  • Automatically unbind Platform edge CAD when overwriting existing CAD Layers during CAD import.
  • Assign entity delays by Entity Type or Final Destination in Delay Points, Gates, and Mesoscopic Transit Zones.

LEGION Simulator

  • Cameras now show their exact field of view in the workspace.
  • Precisely manipulate the size, shape, and position of Cameras, both in the workspace and in Camera property dialogs.
  • Camera previews show the exact field of view in Camera property dialogs and the Layout Designer.
  • An adjustable ‘Whole Model’ Camera covers the entire model. Its aspect ratio can be modified to suit output requirements.
  • Global and per-project defaults to help create consistent recordings:
    • Camera aspect ratio.
    • Video size and aspect ratio.
    • Map image size, file format, and aspect ratio.
    • Graph image size, file format, and aspect ratio.
  • All new Cameras are automatically initialised with the configurable default Camera aspect, to help efficiently generate consistent outputs.
  • All new Map images, Graph images, and video outputs are automatically initialised to the configurable default sizes, file formats, and aspect ratios.
  • Camera transitions are now set in Camera activation Events on the Timeline.
  • Timeline tooltips show Camera transition details.
  • In the Timeline, ‘Active Camera’ is the default option for Record AVI Events.
  • Configuration dialogs for saving images of Maps, Graphs, and screen snapshots offer a wider range of aspect ratios and sizes. Default sizes and/or aspect ratios are selected automatically, making image generation more efficient and consistent.
  • Direction Modifiers can affect entities in specified Mesoscopic Transit Zones.
  • Option to simulate Carriage interiors of PTI Train Services mesoscopically, which helps simulate train services where extremely high pedestrian densities occur, for instance peak commuter metro services.
  • New default Visual Configs dedicated to video and Map recordings.
  • Entity Tracking Filter content is saved to, and restored from, the ANA file.

LEGION Model Builder and LEGION Simulator

  • Rename tool automatically detects the most appropriate operating mode, based on current selections and search results.
  • ‘Copy with Basepoint’ right-click menu option for selected objects and CAD elements.
  • The ‘Copy’ and ‘Copy with Basepoint’ tools support repeated duplication.
  • Filter property pages automatically expand the contents of the ‘selected’ tree, so filter content is visible immediately.
  • A new toolbar buttons enables rapid switching between white and black backgrounds.

LEGION CAD Prep

Due to third-party licensing restrictions beyond our control, the LEGION CAD Prep product is no longer available.
