Perfectly circular roads

[Khailik]

Ok my issue is that I have MAJOR OCD when it comes to making things perfectly equal on all sides. When I make a city grid it has to be PERFECT. And it has been driving me insane that every time I try to make a perfectly circular road that there is always that one part that is just slightly off. So does anyone have any tricks to making perfect circles?

Use the curved road tool, enable snapping, use repeatable units of length. Here's an example of how I do it.

Make first length 2 blocks long, you want the half circle at the end of the road intersect the block length line.

Move another 2 lengths at a right angle, this time the road tool will show you its end line, match that to the 2 block length. PRESTO, a perfect 1/4 circle.

Meh, I was to slow =)

My method works without the X guide and is super simple and 4 times faster once you work out that you only need to match the half cirle to the grid line on the first 1/2 of the curve tool.

Thank you that x thing works really well.

That's a great idea, thanks for the link :)

Another good one is to make some custom assets of various sized roundabouts, then just plop them in.

But anyway... if that's something to you, you could also look for the mod *precision engineering* or something like that ;-)

Hope it will go along your needs

@Simon... nooo it's not YOUR map.. breath, breath...it's just a nightmare... ;-)

Seriously... what surprises me, is that it works as nicely as a more *grid* city... I was expecting far more issues... lol
