ArchLand00097.pngCreating Roads

The 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.

●    The Roadway (Poly) tool is the most straightforward, yet flexible way of creating a roadway in the Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products.

●    The Roadway (Custom Curb) tool joins roadways for Vectorworks Architect and Landmark users. This tool can model exits, merges, traffic circles, intersections, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, and more.

●    The Roadway (NURBS) tool offers an alternative way of inserting a road on a site model, and is available in both the Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products.

●    The Vectorworks Landmark product includes commands that create a roadway from a polyline in several steps, with complete control over each step.

●    For simple roadway representations in the Vectorworks Architect and Landmark products, build sections of a road with the Roadway (Straight) and Roadway (Curved) tools, and connect them with the Roadway (Tee) tool.
