Sariel's Lego Monorail Network Planner Tool

[DLuders]

On his website, Sariel (Paul Kmiec) posted his Lego Monorail Network Planner Tool -- "It lets you design a layout of a Monorail network, using all types of the Monorail track sections....I needed it, I developed it, and I want to share it. You can access the tool directly at http://www.monorail.sariel.pl .

"The tool is quite simple and consists of following elements:

* A toolbox with track sections divided into categories; you can select a track section by clicking on it, and the toolbox maintains its position on top of the screen

* A grid area where a single grid unit represents a single Lego stud; any track section selected from the toolbox appears in the upper left corner of the grid area and can be dragged around it while being snapped to the grid

* The settings area where the size of the grid area can be adjusted as needed (it’s 200 x 100 studs by default) and where there is an automated counter of the track sections used

* A trash area; any track sections dragged and dropped on it are deleted."

Very interesting! I love this idea, but the planner does not look within proportion with a 1x1 brick.

I still need to get my monorail.

Does it support multiple level? Other track designer does allow multiple up/down ramp for building a complex multi-level monorail set. But if this one does allow multi-level and can show in 3D view, I'd be very happy (using laptop atm, hate using mouse or trackpad with this)
