Hello Christian, yes I know that there is no switching possibility on crossing parts, the example was to show how it could work with the proposal of Torben in the topic start:
Quote:Thus, I suggest introducing the new enumerations value in railML3.4: switchIS@type="crossingPart"
with definition:
crossingPart: a crossing part of a singleSwitchCrossing or crossing segments part of a simple crossing
just as you requested:
Quote:A code example may give us an impression of how such a simple switch crossing can look like.
The problem that this forum topic tries to discuss is that a schematic track layout tool is not capable of knowing what to draw left and what to draw right, based on a <crossing> or <switchIS type="singleSwitchCrossing">, because it is missing left/right information that is supplied as <switchIS type="switchCrossingPart"> for <switchIS type="doubleSwitchCrossing">
