Extras menu > Terrain (AR) / Extras menu > Special functions > Terrain (ME)

The "Street" function prompts you either to draw a contour or to select an existing polygon, depending on which Entry mode is selected. The definition contour is used as a centre line.
This contour must meet the following requirements:

  • The contour is open
  • The contour is uninterrupted
  • The contour lies in a level parallel to the floor X/Y-plane
  • The contour should contain no curves/recesses which are too narrow (due to slopes)

The following dialog window appears.

Tip

The street's height gradient is based on the line's endpoints and the contour's arcs. The height value from the terrain to these points is determined and the heights in between are equally interpolated. If you want to specify the heights exactly, then you should lay the desired street point on a terrain edge.
