Streets can contain a street centerline, roadbed lanes, and sidewalk lanes. When streets are selected in the Viewport window, you can manage the segment parameters, attributes, and the street configurations.
These parameters define the generated shapes.
Manage segments
You can click the Segment icon 
in the Inspector window to manage the following attributes and parameters:
Name | Name of the street. |
|
Total Width | Total width of the street or the sum of all the roadbed and sidewalk lane widths. |
|
Segment Offset | Defines the distance the geometry will be offset from the center line. |
|
Precision | Graph nodes are interpolated using Bezier splines, resulting in curved streets. This parameter defines the spline sampling precision, in other words, 0 leads to a minimal and 1 to a maximal number of spline sampling points. |
|
Create Shape | Enable or disable the shape geometry creation from the segment. |
|
To manage roadbed or sidewalk lanes, see Lanes.
Note:
- Street widths are given in absolute length units; precision is given 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.
Autogenerated connection attributes
Connection attributes provide basic information about the underlying graph and give context information. CGA rules may want to access the following attributes.
|
connectionEnd | Hints as to the adjacent geometry at the start or end of a street segment shape. Values include STREET, CROSSING, JUNCTION, JUNCTION_ENTRY, DEAD_END, FREEWAY, FREEWAY_ENTRY and ROUNDABOUT. |
|
connectionStart |
|
type | The type attribute can be either MAJOR or MINOR. The MAJOR attribute is used to identify the main streets when using the Grow Streets tool. The street segment lines are also rendered thicker when the MAJOR attribute is set. |
Note:
Connection attributes are object attributes of the graph segment and are inherited to the shape.
