This is an EXCELLENT piece of software for something in such an early stage of development.

Couple of things I'd like to see is the ability to save 3d user created figures into an Object library or as individual object. And make a library or object someone else creates importable. That would allow users to create objects for SCARM that could be shared.

I just created a figure for a lionel 497 coaling station. Others would probably like to have it.

I also have some old .3ds models from the late 90's and early 2000's. An importer / converter for such objects would also be great.

Thank you Quietman

I will add your comments in my to-do list.

For now, you can store your user objects as grouped figures in empty project files and share them with others. To use them, just copy and paste the group in the track plan file and then move and rotate it to the desired location. If you want to share your items in the SCARM website, just send these as attachments to and I will make a dedicated post for them in the SCARM model railroader blog.

About 3DS importer, I cannot promise such right now, but that is possible to appear in some of the future versions of SCARM.
