Have you ever experienced platforms collides with the train texture just because you placed the platforms before any train is running on that track? That why this mod is made. The Platform Building Helper (PBH) is aimed to assist players to build train station platforms without have any trains actually on the tracks.

The width of the colored areas (areas within the red boundaries) are the structure gauge of one train. Even if the platform slightly exceed the unwanted area (aka slightly covered the area of the structure gauge), a gap between the train and the platform should still exists. If the platform is a curved platform with a very short radius, the PBH might unable to give out the correct structure gauge since the PBH is just a track with a static texture. It cannot calculate dynamic loading gauge or structure gauge.

Since there are differences in definitions across different countries or railway systems, structure gauge or loading gauge in this mod might not be the same as what official standardization documents said. This mod should able to work at least. I am not professional in it, please advise.
