We add the possibility to draw the room geometry including doors and windows and some rules that check whether anything can still be reached and does not collide with windows that open to the inside.

To clarify what I meant by opening size: Since the track geometry defines the workbench in Trackplanner, it would be beneficial to specify that the opening between two parts of the workbench is a minimum size.

Oh, I see. The automatic (expanding) plate is just one option; you can also define fixed plates right now that don't expand automatically.
Either select a fixed plate from the start or convert the automatic one to a manual one. To do this, click on the automatic plate in the “Base” tool and select “Shape it yourself.”
