You can access this dialog from the following:

Rail Topology group

Setting

Description

Create Topology

  • Railway - Creates a topological model from the selected geometry.
  • Pathway Route - Defines a wire path view of the geometry which can then be used for placing masts, catenaries and other objects.
  • Edge Segment - Adds segments to a selected edge to define the edge's range.

Topology Tools

  • Import Rail Equipment - Allows the user to import equipment such as signal locations from products like ContextCapture, including point or cell readings of signal locations.
  • Synchronize Railway - Updates the topological model.

Schematic View

  • Open Railway Schematic View - Creates a schematic view based on a selected edge in the topology model.
  • Reset - Allows the user to reset and update the schematic view if any changes have been made to the base topology model.
  • Update Railway Schematic View - Refreshes the Schematic View after Low Voltage Assets are added.
  • Add manipulator on edge - Allows you to add a manipulator to an edge in the Schematic View.
  • Remove manipulators on edge - Allows you to remove manipulators from an edge in the Schematic View.
  • Mirror Edges - Allows the user to change locations of, for example, two siding tracks.
  • Round Schema Edge Corners - Allows the user to construct a fillet where there is a break-point on an Edge.

EDI Import/Export

  • Import EDI - Imports the geometry and topology from Entegro Data File (*.edi) format.
  • Export EDI - Exports all the topology found in the model as Entegro Data File (*.edi) file format.
