A Bug in "Parking Stall 12"?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,
When mirroring a row of "Parking Stall 12" the text number of stalls do not retain their position and they mirror also. Am I missing a setting? Have been looking for it all over.
I wish GS would make this object a little more real life like.
Thanks,
Joseph

Instead of mirroring which as you note also mirrors the text change the angle of the stripes
On the parameter tab>Width>angle

Nice thought, but it is limited to + and - 60 deg.?
Any other tricks?

Trying to create parking back to back with text not upside down, see the image.

None of the 3 parking library parts do everything it should. The one you are using is the only one that can slope to follow the ground, but you are stuck with stripes on all sides, or at 4 corners or none. None of these are standard striping conventions around here.

The other two can't slope, but you can move the text and/or rotate the text orientation.

Make up your mind which is most important...or add the parameters you want to the one that comes closest.

Yet another example of inadequate library parts.

Here it is,

If the goodies of the other parking.gsm's could be brought into this one and as Erika said the location of painting strips & the numbering could be fix we will have one Green Parking tool.

Thanks a mil. it works great. The best part is that it does not give a duplicate message when GS version is loaded with yours!? And on top of that my schedule schemes pickup both the GS version and yours in the same schedule.

The only issue is when Connect at End is set in the Line setting which shows a piece of the Strip Width, if this could be fixed and possibility addition of the option, "Connect at Both Ends" it would be great.
Thanks,
Joseph
