RailClone 7.1.4 is officially here, bringing a fresh wave of improvements designed to make procedural modeling faster, cleaner, and more intuitive. This update focuses on strengthening RailClone’s core nodes, enhancing spline-generation behavior, expanding expression capabilities, and giving you tighter control over texture paths and library storage.

Whether you’re creating large-scale architectural assets, automating scene elements, or optimizing a complex RailClone graph, this version introduces powerful quality-of-life updates that dramatically improve day-to-day workflow.

Non-Rendering Segment & Transform Nodes

RailClone 7.1.4 adds a Renderable toggle to both Segment and Transform nodes. When disabled, the geometry is still processed within your construction but won’t appear in the viewport or final render.

This means you can now use helper objects, guides, markers, and control geometry without resorting to clunky hacks. It’s cleaner, faster, and especially useful for artists working with reference-driven procedural setups.

Sequence Operator: Smarter Randomization Tools

The Sequence Operator becomes significantly more powerful with two new options:

• Randomize Order: Keeps your defined Count but shuffles the order for natural variation.
• Randomize Count: Keeps your order but varies the repetitions up to your Count value.
• Both Enabled: Fully randomized yet predictable procedural sequences.

This level of control gives you highly flexible, production-ready randomness, perfect for facades, furniture sets, cladding, modular elements, and anything that benefits from controlled variation.

Clearer Display for Generated Splines

The Draw Spline display setting now applies only to terminal generators. This prevents visual clutter when working with layered or nested generators, helping maintain viewport clarity and performance even in large, complex graphs.

---

New Expression Attributes

Expressions get several new attributes that expand your control:

• XMarkerPosition / YMarkerPosition: Returns normalized coordinates of the latest RC Spline Marker.
• Seed: Access the RailClone object’s seed value for synchronized or randomized behavior.

These changes make procedural logic easier to build, reuse, and align across multiple RailClone objects.

Batch Link Node Styling

You can now edit multiple Link nodes at once directly in the Style Editor. Select your nodes → right-click → Link Nodes.

You can also set a default link style in Preferences, ensuring consistent styling across new graphs.

---

Automatic Texture Relinking

Texture path management gets a major upgrade:

• A new Library setting allows texture files to be automatically redirected to the maps folder within your library path.
• Full support for 3ds Max UNC paths simplifies network-based workflows.
• Automatic addition of maps folders to user paths remains available, but you can now choose your preferred method.

This is especially helpful for teams using de-centralized storage or distributed rendering setups.

Install Libraries Anywhere, Including Network Drives

RailClone 7.1.4 gives you total control over where your built-in libraries are stored. You can now:

• Point the Assets folder to any local or network location
• Maintain shared libraries across teams
• Reduce duplicate downloads thanks to the renamed Packages Cache folder

This improves asset consistency, collaboration, and multi-artist workflow efficiency.

---

Expressions Default Setup

Expressions are now initialized with return 0; by default as a helpful cue that a return statement is always required.
