Crossing Roads
« on: July 18, 2013, 04:13:11 pm »

Every time I have a road cross over itself, like in a figure 8, one part is always higher than the other. Picture: http://imgur.com/qqdWP1L

Then change its elevation?

You'll have to forgive me if I seem like an idiot, but how could I do that?

There's an elevation slider in the road tool.  But for that, you're probably only going to need to change them + or - .05 or .10m
The slant slider might help as well.

To get the best alignment, you might try using 4 waypoints close together, 2 for each road, with the waypoints for a road aligning with the 2 sides/edges of the opposite road.  But that's generally overdoing it.  You could probably just have 1 waypoint for each road placed on top of eachother.

To insert a new waypoint, select a segment and press Insert to make a new waypoint in the middle of that selected segment.

The blog post is a bit outdated though.  There's a help tab in the road editor window.
