PathBuilder generates an xml file OSRail Path Format with the route path and the terrain, billboards and points that represent the path and branches of the railroad. PathBuilder maintains a catalog of all GIS resources and scans used to build the path. The utility provides for notes and other documentation to be attached to points along the path. Pathbuilder generates the terrain patches and adds a default texture. The path file and the utilities workspace share the same file.
  • 1. Plot the railroad path from the initial DRG maps.
  • 2. Generate Splines: Knot Points, Control and Weight Values and the rectangle for each Knot Point based on initial path width.
  • 3. Adjust the path for smoothness or mainline curve requirements.
  • 4. Edit the Path, Add Properties, Extend or Merge the path etc.
  • 5. Generate the path file.
