Lanes

When you select streets in the Viewport window, you can manage the attributes and parameters in the Inspector window. Streets can contain segments, roadbed lanes, and sidewalk lanes.

These parameters define the generated shapes.

Manage lanes

You can click the Roadbed Lanes icon or the Sidewalk Lanes icon to manage the following attributes and parameters:

Name		The name of the street shape.
Lane Width		Defines the width of the main street shape.
Travel Direction		Defines the distance the geometry will be offset from the center line.

To manage the segments, see Segments.

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.

Roadbed lanes

You can select a roadbed lane in the Viewport window and click Roadbed Lanes icon to manage object attributes under the Object Attributes section in the Inspector window.

The following table shows the object attributes for roadbed lanes:

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
shapeType	Lanes can either be Street type or Sidewalk type.
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.

Sidewalk lanes

You can select a sidewalk lane in the Viewport window and click the Sidewalk Lanes icon to manage object attributes under the Object Attributes section in the Inspector window.

Sidewalk parameters

The following table shows the object attributes for sidewalk lanes:

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
shapeType	Lanes can either be Street type or Sidewalk type.
sidewalkSide	Which side of the street this sidewalk shape is on, relative to the street direction: either Left or Right. SidewalkSide is only added to sidewalk shapes.
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.
