Draw a freehand street

Using the Street Creation tools , you can draw streets by freehand and create streets with curves and straight segments.

To draw a street freehand, click the Polygonal Street Creation tool (G) on the toolbar and click the Freehand Street Creation tool (Shift+G) in the Tool Options window . You can also click Graph > Freehand Street Creation in the main menu.

Click and drag to start drawing a street and release when finished. The streets automatically snap to street segments (centerline) or nodes. Press Shift to temporarily disable snapping. Double-click a street segment to add a vertex at that place.
