You can use the drawing tools to draw the platform and then place your tracks on the platform, and I have created a 3 layer platform with different tracks on each layer. You can create and anaylize slopes and it will show you the grade % slope as well as the height, but cannot render them in 3D. Pieces automatically snap together and align themselves just like the actual track. I use Bachmann, and it's library showed every piece of track Bachmann sells in both steel and nickel-silver and it shows the piece of track by name as well as Bachmann part number, even DCC turnouts and the turntable. It has track libraries for almost every track I know of. You can do everything the full version does, including save the layout. More than enough to get the feel for the system. I tried the Anyrail free demo version, which has all the capabilities of the full version, except you are limited to working with about 50 sections of track. I created all the track sections I needed for Bachmann EZ track, and still found creating and modifing layouts to be tedious at best. I wanted to experiment with different layouts before I started cutting wood and buying track. I have an advanced CAD system for which I consider myself to be an extremely advanced user (25 years experience).
