Path Table Edition

Some elements have a path attribute. This path edition allows the user to create a line consisting of curved and straight segments that the element will follow. Examples of such elements include Road Line, Road Pavement, Trajectory, or Railway.

To edit an element's path, first select the involved element. Then, in the right panel you can either:

  • Open the Path Table tab Path Table Tab Button
  • Or, alternatively, in the property tab, click on the edit button Path Edition Button associated with the Path property. This will open the Path Table tab for you.

Once you are in the Path Table tab, you can add, edit and remove segments:

  • Arc: User must define width and length of the arc (dX, dY = ±dX)

You can add lines and arcs by clicking the “Plus” button: plus button

You can additionaly use the "Close with line" or "Close with arc" options to create a closed path, by adding a line or an arc, respectively.
