Edit streets

You can use a variety of tools in CityEngine to edit streets including manually adjust streets and curves, clean up geometry, align streets to terrain or convert dynamically generated CGA streets into static shapes for detailed modeling.

You can edit streets using the following tools on the toolbar:

Edit Street/Curves Edit street/curves tool

Manually edit street nodes in segments and curves.

Cleanup Graph Cleanup graph tool

Clean up street networks by merging nodes and segments; and create nodes at intersecting segments.

Align Streets to Terrain Align streets to terrain tool

Simplify Graphs

Simplify street networks by removing unnecessary nodes from straight sections and curves.

Reset Shape Attributes

Reverse Direction

Reverse street direction and sidewalks.

Fit Widths to Shapes

Fit street widths to align with shapes.

Analyze Graph

Analyze street networks by computing global and local integration, and in-between centrality.
