HOW TO ALIGN OBJECTS IN THE EDITOR?

[Astrid]

I'm trying to put together a map, but when I do the roads it's hard to get it just perfect so that none of the sides are showing. How can I fix that?

I use the following rotation trick:

-Use ctrl + c and ctrl + v to copy a street line.

-move it in the local mode and it is perfectly alligned.

For other objects:

- When placing an object it is alligned to the grid with the default rotation.

-There is a thing named snap-rotation. You can change it on the bottem right of the screen.

-Set this snap rotation to na nice value like 90 or 45 degree.

-Now rotate every object you place only with the snap-rotation, by holding the ctrl key while rotating. It will now only rotate in 90 or 45 degree steps.

-By using this, all streets, and the houses or what ever are perfectly alligned to the same direction.

An other thing:

-you can copy and aply the position of an object with the B and N key (or is it ctrl + n and ctrl + b ? Im not sure)

-use it to place a crossing at the same position like a street line and move it in local mode.

Geniunely have to thank you a lot, I never knew about the ctrl + b, ctrl + n commands, but now, my roads are actually perfect for once ;D
