Create Rails
The Create Rail (
) tool helps to create rails,
different rail geometry and models.
You can access this dialog from the following:
Ribbon: OpenRail Modeling Workflow > Rail > Rails > Rail and Sleepers
Using Create Rail, you can create rail geometry and 3D mesh models.
Rail geometry sample created below is a complex element that consists of components which represent each individual rail element.

Rail geometry represents Top-Center point of the rail. To obtain accurate results when creating 3D mesh, the selected template should have its origin at this same location.
- When you select cant, a single cant is selected. Using the reset option selects all the cants assigned to the geometry.
- When tracking along an alignment, use F11 to include active Cant, Speed and Radius reading in Analyze Point.
