highway/avenue intersection at an angle

[robinberghuys 0]

Is it possible to make an intersection when your avenue and highway are both at an angle? I mean that they would appear as a big X instead of a big + when viewed from the top. I tried to do this, but was unable to. (I installed the NAM, by the way.) I hope someone can give me some more information on this.

I'm at work so I can't test this out but I think I did have this working for me at one point in an old city. If i recall it was pretty tricky to do.

I tried doing it in the middle of nowhere, but it still wouldn't work. I wonder why that is.

Robin.

If you could provide a picture of the setup and a detailed description of what you are trying to do, we will be able to troubleshoot the problem easier.

it should work...the one that doesn't work is a straight avenue going over a ground highway. otherwise all the rest work, not all will give ramps...but you get the idea.

I'll do that, but the computer I have sim city on is at my place and I'm at my parent's for the weekend. So I'll provide a picture Monday.

Well, here is said picture:

As you can see I tried demolishing most things around the highway and avenue, to no avail.

Corner is too close and rail also.

I guess I should've seen that reply coming. I tried removing the rail, that didn't work. It might be the corner, but then it should have worked when I tried to do it in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, I'll try making it a long, straight stretch of highway, see if that works. Many thanks if it does.

edit: Here's what happened:

You can do it using the NAM ploppable interchanges for sure. I've done it.

Here's what I got for your intersection.  I demolished the railway and moved the curves on the elevated highway back a little further. Took a couple of attempts, but it did eventually work.

edit: I wonder why picture isn't showing....

Oh cool, I'd like to see how you did that, so you could also just post the URL, if you want. How far back did you push the curves?

Didn't really move things too far. Demolished railway and moved remaining rails further back; demolished curves; redrew elevated highway over the avenue; reconnected curves.

I'd try it again and give an accurate count, but I saved over the city file I downloaded of Sittard. Hope the pic helps, though.

Thanks, I think the image will do! I didn't think it would be that big, I guess that's the mistake I made. Once again, many thanks

Try flattening it out a bit, too.
