  1. Hello, I'm new here. 30y Old and from germany. So please excuse me if I make mistakes in writing. I really try my best to be understandable. I had some issues with an asymmetric road, that just didn't want to behave properly with pedestrians and I could not find any road in the workshop that suited my needs. So I decided to make my own roads. Not fully, but customize existing ones, especially from Network Extensions 2. After a few adjustments, I realize that this is not that easy and that there are few things to consider I didn't thought about. (left: original, right: modified concept) This is my first attempt to design a road. Criticism and suggestions are welcome at this point. Colors and textures are just placeholders, but should convey the idea. Which gives me a couple of questions. My design is 66 pixels wider (created by the safety strip between green and red) than the original. The first question: to what extent do I have to take this pixel difference into account? Is what I do even possible? Because the 1024x1024 resolution of the original is certainly chosen specifically. I have drawn the height of the segments in the draft. Second question: how do I use "Mesh Points" to transfer the heights to the road? e.g. pos 8 has several values: -0.3? Again -0.3? and then 0 and 0? I can't figure that out. Please ignore the traffic lights here. In the screenshot you can see "Road Properties" and underneath "Lanes". Third question: how is the "correct" workflow to set it up correctly? I noticed that you can't, for example, delete "Pedestrian" and then put it at the bottom of the list, as there are many settings under this tab, like how the traffic lights behave and sidewalk decoration. In any case, it was learning by doing and at some point it was just a catastrophic mess of information. Maybe I should put my goal also into words. My goal is to convert the street: (Network Extensions 2) 3 lanes to 1 lane + 1 service lane + 2 bike lanes. The second goal would be to widen the lanes by 5% and widen the sidewalk by 20% - because I like the street, but it seems a little too "narrow" and pedestrians have a little too little space. So everything should be a bit wider. I hope someone can help me with that.
