How do I place PEG boardwalks?

An example of a PEG boardwalk...

I have installed the boardwalk pack made by PEG, yet, I do not know how to place them properly!

On the edge of the land/water, you really need to level the entire coastline. There are a number of ways to do this, but it's a tedious necessity.

 

The lots that go in the water though, they just need to be plopped.

Maybe this will help - it helped me with the same issue.  Pegasus made these levelers just for the CDK props but they actually work well in a lot of places.

I find it easier for placing the over-water sections to use the Water Pollution map to uncover what the seabed looks like. It's easier than guessing where it's going to be placed only to have it appear a tile off bore. The CDK3 Leveler will be your best friend as these lots like to be at a very specific height and will sink in if your edge is too high. I started using the leveler for low-laying airports that require landfill past the natural shoreline.

The marina pieces are a little trickier and may require a little bit of trial an error. I personally like to separate them by four tiles over from each other to give the boats ample room to 'maneuver' around without getting stuck in the spaces or risk hitting obstacles. This is more for aesthetics as these files offer a really good degree of realism to waterfront cities like in a Pier 39 type of setting.

As for some of the pieces on the Old Wooden Waterfront selection, you can see how there is an added runner that can be connected from the points where the boats are moored. For the sake of the way these lots flow together, try to have them match together. Otherwise it wouldn't be necessary since it's a modular set.
