Lanes

When you select lanes in the Viewport window, you can manage the attributes and parameters in the Inspector window. A street segment can have roadbed and sidewalk lanes. Roadbed lanes are usually lanes adjacent to the centerline of a street. While sidewalk lanes are lanes outside of the roadbed lanes.

Lane Parameters

Lane parameters

Click the Roadbed Lanes button Roadbed lane parameters or the Sidewalk Lanes button Sidewalk lane parameters to work with the following parameters:

Lane Width (attr width)

The width of the main street shape.

Travel Direction (attr travelDirection)

You can choose either the Forward, Reverse, or Both options for the travel direction.

To work with segment parameters and object attributes, see Segments.

Note:

  • Street widths are in absolute length units; precision is in a normalized [0, 1] range.
  • Parameters (attributes) can be mapped to Default, User, Object, or to a map layer. See Map attributes with the Connection Editor for more information.

Roadbed lane object attributes

You can select a roadbed lane in the Viewport window, and click the Roadbed Lanes button Roadbed lane parameters to manage object attributes in the Object Attributes section of the Inspector window.

Roadbed lane selection and parameters

The following table shows the object attributes for roadbed lanes:

connectionEnd

Inherited from the segment object attributes.

connectionStart

shapeType

Lanes can either be Street type or Sidewalk type.

type

Inherited from the segment object attributes.

laneIndex

The currently selected lane's index. The first lane has index 0.

laneCount

The total number of lanes on the segment.

laneWidths

An array containing widths of all lanes on the segment. The order corresponds to the laneIndex attribute.

shapeGroups

An array containing the shapeType attribute from all lanes on the segment. The order corresponds to the laneIndex attribute.

travelDirections

An array containing the travelDirection parameter from all lanes on the segment. The order corresponds to the laneIndex attribute.

Sidewalk lane object attributes

You can select a sidewalk lane in the Viewport window, and click the Sidewalk Lanes button Sidewalk lane parameters to manage object attributes in the Object Attributes section of the Inspector window.
