How do human visitors to your planned project get there? And where do they park their vehicle?

Learn here how to use road, path, and parking tools to create transport circulation very quickly.

Roads & Parking Menu

Access the Roads & Parking menu (Car Icon) in the Draw Palette at the bottom of the app window.

Here, you will find parking, path, and road tools.

• Parking
  • On-Grade parking: Add a flat parking lot
  • Multi-deck parking: Add a multi-level parking structure
  • Underground Parking: Represent parking planned for underground
• Path: Styled for footpath/bike path use.
• Road: Styled for motor vehicle use. Includes options to adjust the width of attached sidewalks.

Draw a Road or Path

Select Path or Road from the transport menu.

Click at the vertices of the path of travel. Double click at the endpoint to close the tool.

<aside> 💡 Roads and paths are essentially Lines.

Crossing paths or roads will merge visually with features of the same type to form intersections.

<aside> 💡 You may also wish to have perfectly orthographic angled corners. See more tips in Drawing Accurately

Roads and Paths intersect nicely

Paths and Roads have slightly different properties to adjust. You can create Road and Path usages in the usage editor to save any repeatable types to your library.

Road Properties

Adjust the width of the road in the properties menu.

Adjust the “footpath width” property to manipulate the sidewalks.

Adjust using the up/down arrows, or type in an exact value.

Path Properties

Adjust the width of the path in the properties menu with the “Footpath Width” property.

Adjust using the up/down arrows, or type in an exact value.

<aside> 💡 Roads and paths have a pre-set color to assist with “healing” intersections. Currently, the road and path color are fixed and cannot be changed with a color property.
