ArchiTerra 3 and road angle

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:51:08 GMT

Hi all.

I must be doing something terribly wrong, as I cant seem to get not even simple road on sloped terrain in ArchiTerra 3. The road I get is not horizontal, but keeps the angle of the terrain. It is ok with the road going up and down, but angled from left to rigth ?? See attached image and please help.

When you build a road, the first result you get is a road just resting on the terrain: the level of the left and right nodes is calculated from the terrain itself.
You should use the Road Longitudinal Section Tool to assign the proper level to each node.
Otherwise, you can select the road object, double-click on the ArchiCAD object tool and use the provided parameters to "automatically" handle the levels on the two sides of the road (left=right or right=left).

Now, that you have explained it to me, it seems so obvious .

Thank you.
