I've been trying out SCARM (latest version).  While it does a decent job of displaying track (rails or sleepers or both) I have not found a view for roadbed in 2D mode. It does display roadbed in 3D mode.

Does anyone know what width they are using for the roadbed (for example, Midwest cork is 13/4 in wide, Homabed is 17/8 to 2 in wide)?
Also, is there a setting for seeing roadbed in 2D mode? (It's a feature I like in WinRail).

It is not documented, but you

It is not documented, but you can use 'B' key in 2D to toggle displaying of roadbed in the editor. At the moment, the roadbed width is estimated for all track systems to be 2 times of the sleepers/ties width.
