[quote user="carl425"]I also believe 3D is overrated. It produces cute pictures, but for me they don't add any value to the planning process.[/quote] I completely disagree! 3D views are a lot more than just cute pictures! I think that the scenery should get as much attention in the planning process as does the track plan. A 3D visualization helps you check on how the layout will look, which eventually may even lead to a change in the track plan. For me, the chance to see my planned layout in a 3D rendering is actually the only reason I go through the pain of using a track planning program. If I just want to have a track plan, paper, a pencil and a fresh eraser is all I´d need for the rather simple layouts I plan. Oh, btw, SCARM also allows 1 : 1 prints.
