Sidewalks

Sidewalks are sub documents of Cities that display a surface using textures. They are represented by a curve. Sidewalks are the lowest priority amongst Cities' sub documents, they will be cut by any other sub document going through them. For example, if a Building, a road or a fence's curve is going over the sidewalk's curve, the sidewalk will not be displayed in the area shared by the two curves.

Sidewalk view

The Sidewalk view is divided in three parts.

The curve point list :

Contrary to all other sub document of the City, Sidewalks do not have curve point specific parameters. The curve point list simply displays the curve points of the Sidewalk.

The parameters :

• Sidewalk height offset : Raising or lowering the sidewalk from the ground.

• Sidewalk material : The Materials applied to the surface of the Sidewalk.

• Sidewalk priority : The priority of the sidewalk. This parameter defines the way sidewalks will merge at crossings and which one will have the priority on top of the other. The highest the value goes the lower the priority is.

Toolbar :

• Create curve point : When this button is activated the user can click in the viewport to create a curve point for the Sidewalk. A Sidewalk needs at least three curve points to display its texture. Once a curve point is placed the button is automatically deactivated.

• Delete curve point : This button will delete the selected curve point.

• Change curve point addition mode : This function changes the way curve points are added to the curve. They can either be added to the end of the list, or they can be added between the two closest curve points.

• Turn on/off Draft mode : The Draft mode button changes the display of the Sidewalk individually, changing whether the modules are visible. This is useful when doing modification on a Sidewalk and trying to see the results without having to turn the draft mode on the whole City.

• Refresh city : The Refresh function updates the Sidewalk with all the modifications made to it.

• Help button : Opens the web browser to the Sidewalk documentation page.
