Easier road creation?

Post » Fri May 13, 2011 10:12 am

Is there an easier way to create roads? It's a bit troublesome to have to place each road piece one by one and trying to keep them straight. Also, how do I tell which way is north? Is the render window facing north everytime you spawn in a new cell?

You can find north by clicking on one of your road objects and pressing the 'T' key.

This will change your camera view to the top of the object and North is always towards the top of your screen.

Also an important thing to remember is to use the Snap-To feature, selecting one of your road pieces as the reference object by holding down Shift and pressing Q. You will see a white cross-hairs, drag it over the road piece that you want as a reference and double click it with the white cross-hairs showing. That done, just make sure the Snap-To feature is on pressing "Q", and the road should snap together like legos.

Luck!

Do exactly as Miaximus has said. It will make putting everything together take much much much less time. Especially those lengthy exterior roads!
