[Suggestion] Standardize rail ramps and supports

[PianoAddict]

TL;DR

Allow rail ramps to curve 1 rail earlier

What?

The top of a ramp looks identical to a rail support, but the support can begin a turn 1 rail earlier.

I suggest allowing the curve to begin at the same location as it can on the support. There is 1 straight rail at the top of a ramp before a turn can be initiated, visually it seems as if this should be able to curve in the same location.

Why?

The identical graphics at the top of a ramp and the support seems to imply similar behaviors. The 1 extra straight rail at the top of the ramp creates a discrepancy when designing curves off of ramps vs curves off of supports.

The one seemingly straight rail on top of ramp is actually slightly sloped (the slope begins halfway that rail piece).
So a solution could be to not allow curved rails directly on top of rail support, only two straight rails.
(I doubt this is what you envisioned your suggestion would lead to.)

If supports couldn't bend then you couldnt do the 90° directly off of the supports at all. Currently you cannot do a 90° bend off of a ramp like you can off of a support.

I do see what you mean, it is just a few pixels off...

Regardless, this change would be very nice.
