I keep trying to get it perfect, but as I don't have a lot of experience with Atlas O track or the RR Track app, I am wondering if I should be concerned, or is this just a software rendering challenge that's making me crazy.

Hey Kevin. DO not get too hung up over making a track plan that appears to be perfect in a computer program. You will spend way more time trying to make it all work.
My advice, you have the basic design. Now get some track and start building. Use a straightedge and a tape measure and "work out all the kinks as you go", so to speak. With preformed curves and switches, it will all fit as planned. Plus, as soon as a loop is finished, wire it up and run some trains!
Atlas track is fairly easy to cut with a Dremel and large cutoff wheel for any minor imperfections.
Just my two cents.....I see too many guys spend way to much time on computer generated designs and not enough time building.
