Creating this interchange?

[ript73 0]

Hi, I am in need of some help or pictures showing how to make this interchange. I've never really created highways in any city I've built, but am now working on a recreation that needs interchanges similar to this.

Thanks in advance!

Good Luck making it! it Looks like a really complex interchange and it would be cool to have it in our cities!

Hey ript73... Glad to see you want to try an interchange...

I was just looking for the thread for you and I found it.... https://www.simtropolis.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=124&threadid=64338&highlight_key=y&keyword1=interchange

Unfortunately the first post in the thread seems to have been deleted.. Its the one with the toturial. Maybe if you read through there are things that can help you. There are a bunch of steps involved and its a very big task hence the fact not many custom interchanges have been done...

From what I know, you need to make models of each 1x1 section in GMAX, make LODs for them all, then MOD everything along with a few other things I dont know.

Good luck... I hope you can find someone that can help you more than I can.

Hmm, that's an unusual SPUI!

It's definitely a SPUI though.

Thank you for the replies and information, however I am in no way capable of batting, modding, or creating a custom interchange. I was just curious to see if this was doable with the NAM, GLR, or anything that is currently downloadable.

Thanks again!

Not to have it look just like that no.

You might be able to achieve something similar using one ways as onramps, and the highway, but you wont be able to have the one way connect to the avenue underneath the highway.

that would be great to add but what about clover leaf highway to avenues or roads...(just suggestion) Good Luck.

That is definitely doable with NAM, though obviously not with smooth precision, it would have to be a little rough. The main road on the ground going north/south is an avenue, and with the NAM you could make an avenue going east/west that comes up to the north/south avenue but then splits into two roads, that turn into two overpasses going over the north/south road. The other little roads are harder to explain, but all you have to do is print out that picture and take your time. I see you're trying to recreate a city? Which one?

Although I note you are trying to recreate a "real" interchange, that interchange is entirely against DOT principles for highway design... No self-respecting highway would have exits and entrances on the inside lane.. although many examples of this kind of road interchange do exist, especially in locations with awkward or space-restricted situations, that one just looks all wrong ... just hanging out flapping in the breeze in a wide-open area.. very poor design.. a dangerous area and prone to driver mistakes

Thanks for the info. I decided for now just to make it a regular avenue over ground hiway intersection and move onto the rest of the road network.

That looks really nice! I'd like to see it.
