Doing too much right now but know that using the mesh is not that much of a pain. Once you have the procedure down it is easy to maintain and use.

Concept/Ingredients
-----
• 1 Main Mesh
• 2 Meshes per item, one for Streets and one for Sidewalks. If site is bigger than 2 -3 acres then you should break it down.
• One layer for the Mesh and one layer for the Mesh SEOs with a different intersection number. Do not use slabs or any other items for the SEO, only meshes. If you do then it will slow your file down.

• For editing you could/should do it in 3D since then you can edit multiple meshes at the same time if the nodes align.
