Highway Overpass ramp issue

I am adding a highway overpass ramp where an avenue and a ground level highway meet, however it only works as a road overpass and not an avenue like I would like it to.

So, basically I can add the overpass but only as a single road and not an avenue. I know it can be as an avenue, I have seen it work.

I am fully updated as well.

Is there somethign I am missing? Like maybe a plugin or something?

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks!

Is the land around the overpass completely flat? to make sure, plop street tiles in the area of the overpass first, then build the highway and the avenue

If it's a diagonal to diagonal overpass, I'm not sure if the game as is comes with one for highway x avenue, but the NAM almost certainly has one. You should download that and see if it helps

If it is a ground highway, you can only plop the avenue overpass. Select the overpass tool and use [TAB] to cycle through the overpasses, then plop. It works even diagonally.

Is the button a tab-option one or not? you may just have to tab to the ramp you want, then plop.

    If you want to plop the ramp, you have to tab through the different ones. However, SC4 will ask you if you want to build one automatically if you drag a road or avenue beneath the highway. There's no plugins involved; these are default SC4 Deluxe interchanges.

    When it doubt. DYNAMITE!!! I'm not helping am i? Generally when i try to build an overpass like that i demolish everything around the site, hence dynamite, to clear a 10x10 grid. Drag out the freeway then drag the avenue over the freeway. Start 4 tiles away and end 4 tiles on the other side. Usually works for me.
