Creating RoadsCreating RoadsThe Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products offer a variety of different tools and commands for creating roads, depending upon the complexity of the roadway. A road object can be set to be a site model modifier, and changes the proposed site model when the site model is updated.
Multiple roadway tools share the same position on the tool set. Click and hold the mouse on the visible tool to open the Pop-out Tools list and select the desired tool.
