The Ribbon
When you select something, the Ribbon shows you what you can do with it and grays out any options that don't apply.
Example 1: Select a flex

Example 2: Select a flex, a surface, and some text

The Popup menu
A handy feature of AnyRail is the menu that “pops up” with relevant options whenever you right-click something.
Example 1: Right-click a stretch of track

Example 2: Right-click a connection

There’s a description of each option in the Reference Guide. The next couple of chapters cover the more commonly used ones.
