Place Trench Along a Pathway
Ribbon: OpenRail Modeling > Rail > Miscellaneous > LV Assets
Placing a Trench along a Pathway will utilize a defined Topology Route. A Topology Route (Pathway) is a collection of Topology Edges, which forms a Route (Pathway).
By placing a Trench along a route, will provide possibilities to layout out the Trench along several geometries, for example, starting the Trench along the main track, continue through a turnout and end the trench along a siding track.
To access the Pathways (Routes), place the cursor on top of a geometry, the popup-message will show type of element and other properties. In the picture below, the Trench will be placed along the geometry Main Track.
Right click, when the popup-message is shown, and the Place Trench tool will pick first Pathway (Route) available. Continue right-click to circulate through the Pathways (Routes). If no Pathway (Route) exists, the geometry is the only one shown in the popup-message.
Workflow
Elevation (apart from selecting Elevation Mode: Absolute or Relative to Active Terrain Model) will be relative the individual geometries included in the Pathway (Route).
