Things i learned much to late for my map..
![]() How to align walls and other straight objects... 1. Goto Render and select Grid Mode 2. Goto Snap and Select snap to ground, and snap to terrain grid 1 3. Place your object on the map. 4. If you need to rotate the object, right click on the axis. This is critical, if you rotate the object at all by hand it will be very hard to align properly. 5. Drag the object until it lines up with the set of objects. 6. Your all done, and your objects should line up properly now. |

U can also type in the exact angle to align objects in the tweaker bar. U can also click on 1 object, control click another, then snap them together. Good for aligning fences and bridges or lining up any objects. Also when using copy and paste dont forget [Ctrl Shift V] to paste the object exactly ontop of the one you just copied... again good for lining things up. | |

You probably already know about setting the octaves value to 0 for smoother splines, but you can also set the priority of the road, so when you overlap then you determine which lies above the other.
This stops that road flickering glitch that you often see with overlapping sections. Usage: eg. set 'prio' to 0 for a road, & 1 for a pedestrian crossing. |

in move mode, hold ctrl and select the object by its arrow and move it, instant duplication. |
