Roads¶

The Roads module builds road meshes from splines. You draw where the road goes, and World Toolkit generates the surface, lanes, sidewalks and curbs, plus the junctions where roads meet.

Open it from the Roads tab of the World Toolkit window.

The building blocks¶

Road (Editable Mesh Road component)

One road, following a spline. Its cross-section is made of layers: the driving lanes, sidewalks, curbs and so on.

Road Profile (asset)

The 2D shape of one layer, like the shape of a curb or a sidewalk. See Profiles and Layers.

Road Rules (asset)

A reusable road setup: layers, generation settings and the defaults for junctions. New roads use it, and a road that references it is rebuilt whenever the asset changes. See Road Rules.

Junction (Editable Mesh Junction component)

The generated mesh where two or more roads meet. See Junctions.

Road Anchor Connection

A road that attaches to the side of another road without a full junction. See Anchored Connections.

City Block Floor

Fills the area enclosed by roads, for example a block's ground. See City Blocks.

The Roads panel¶

Points

Edit Road Points turns on road editing in the Scene view; while it's on, the button reads Exit Editing Road Points. Create Roads/Junctions from Selection turns the selected spline containers into roads, and their linked knots into junctions.

New Roads

The Road Rules used for the roads you draw or convert, and for new junctions. Apply to Selected applies these rules to the selected roads and junctions.

City Block Floors

Create City Block Floors, and the settings given to new floors.

The Settings tab sets the lane guides and their colors, how road splines are drawn in the Scene view, and when roads rebuild. See Roads Settings.
