Standard shape library

Firstly, congratulations on a great easy to use product.

Having produced a number of track layouts using the Drail software, one of the comments I most often receive when showing them is that it would be nice if the layout showed basic scenery items such as building, trees etc.  Could an additional standard library be created with shapes such as these?  The tree sizes could be indicative and the buildings could be based on a standard manufacturers range such as the Hornby Skaledale range or 'Superquick' range of card buildings.

Many thanks

David

We really intend to deliver such a library. But we also realize that most people would like to be able to define their own structures as well.
So we're looking for a solution that solves both issues: out of the box trees and houses, and user defined ones.

Hi,
For me its N gauge shapes from the standard peco range such as platforms level crossings ect. What are the time scales on this development?
Cheers

Hi Laurence,
I've added your request to our wish list. Then about schedules: we usually don't say much about that! Not to be mysterious, but as a small company we plan the development of the product in terms of weeks, not in months or years!

Sorry for dragging an old thread up again but feel its better to ask for any progress than start a new thread for a question thats already been asked.

For me being a basic newbie modeller I would be happy if there was a misc set for Hornby platforms. I am finding it very difficult to gauge the space needed to be able to accomodate a platform at a specific position

Hi Gary,

We'll take a look at these platforms.
