    After you create a road, you can split it at any point.

    1. Click (Create / Edit Features).
    2. In the Draw Strip, click (Create Roads).
    3. Select a road style and click OK.
    4. Sketch the path of the road in the model or proposal.

      Click the starting point for the road and click again to place a point for each bend. Double-click to finish the road.

      Infrastructure Modeler performs some automated processes when roads intersect rail lines or other roads. The following table outlines how roads act in certain situations.

      Situation Result Visual

      Road(s) intersect another road.

      Corners are added and the roads are merged to create an intersection.

       

      Road(s) intersect a rail line.

      A railway crossing is added at the intersection of the road(s) and the rail line.

       

      Roads intersect another road or rail line, but have different stacking orders.

      If the stacking order is larger, the new road forms a viaduct over the older road/rail line.

      If the stacking order is lower, the new road forms a tunnel under the older road/rail line.

      This also occurs if intersecting roads/rail lines differ in elevation by more than 2½ meters.

       

      When you add roads to the model, they appear on the master layer. View road information from the Properties Explorer.

      When you add roads to a proposal, Infrastructure Modeler adds information (such as length and area) to the Roads section of the Proposals Manager.
