Creating a new scenario creates a new scenario with new blank data files, which means that all costing, geometry, and feature data will need to be re-entered in the scenario. For this reason, it is recommended you duplicate a scenario rather than create a new one unless you need blank data files.

1. In the Scenario Tree, right-click a group name and select New Scenario. The New scenario dialog appears.
2. In the Select DTM list, select an existing Quantm terrain model (.TMQ) or import a new terrain model by selecting <Import DTM file>.
3. In the Scenario field, enter a name.
4. In the Route type list, select the type of route you would like to optimize, Road or Rail.
5. Select if you want to Use Grade Breaks in the scenario.
6. Click OK.
