Need help with this Highway design

Does someone know what I need to recreate this Highway with the bridges  and ramps? I currently use NAM 32, but so far nothing worked. Parts never seem to fit together and my roads from RHM always look different from the roads I see in videos or on pictures.

I really want to build on of these sunken highways for my city, but 10h of hard work with NAM prove me that I just have no idea what I am doing ;) Thanks

I already figured out how to use the digging-tool and I got the sunken Highway walls. My biggest problem is the highway itself. I have no idea what I must use :)

Looks like Project Symphony to me. Did you check the "Maxis Highway Override" button on the NAM installation?

That's not Project Symphony; it's RHW-6S. Otherwise it would just have a total of four lanes.

    OnSlope Transitions.  It looks like the designer of this interchange used the 15m/Level 2 (L2) Road Viaducts. Can't tell entirely if they're FLEX-OnSlopes or the older static puzzle piece OnSlopes.  The ground-to-elevated transition on the ramps appears to be the old L0-to-L2 static puzzle piece-based MIS height transition.  The RHW ramp interfaces used appear to be RHW-8S Type D1 ramps.

    It looks like this is a combination of some RHW-6S, MIS, elevated road viaducts, and a little bit of RHW-8S at the end. It's bound to look different from your setup because the author of this image seems to have used a skin or texture pack for NAM. If you're not using European textures, your roads/highways will look different (for example, they may have yellow lines instead of some white lines).

     

    If you find the RHW and road viaduct interfaces to be challenging, I would strongly suggest looking at the NAM documentation. I believe it is installed automatically with NAM in your SimCity 4 directory, under "NAM files" or something of the like. Otherwise, it can be found here online: (RHW User Manual) (NAM User Manual). It may seem like a lot, but it will be worth it in the long run if you skim through the guides for some of the relevant information. Chapter 7 of the RHW manual looks like the most helpful for learning how to use the RHW. I'm sure documentation for the road viaducts (bridges over the highway) is somewhere in the NAM manual.

     

    Then again, if the manuals aren't cutting it, you could always look up Asteconn on YouTube. He makes RHW video tutorials. Good luck and happy citybuilding :thumb:
