how to place picnic tables?

[BLÀde]

trying to build a food court but no matter what picnic table i select it's always red and won't place it. only place i seem to be able to place them is right outside the door of a shop?!

It must be placed on an alley.

well that's just stupid it's pointless to make food courts or plazas than...

do you have problems with your visitors they walk along the aisles.

i dont understand why this is so hard to get. u make a court useing the grid tool in your paths, then drop the tables. done.

first off, idk what aisle is. if you meean paths, thats what they are supposed to do, walk along paths. i have courts all over in all my parks and they are all full and working perfectly.

i tried i can only make one straight path not a whole plaza. and it still wouldn't let me place them in it. damn thing must be bugged or it hates snow maps.

they walk in single file like hordes of ants following the same line.

You use the grid selection (bottom right in paths) select a piece of the path and make a 3x3 ( or bigger square) and then you can place the picnic tables.

lol, i havent seen this. sounds funny tho.

to pull a grid you need at least on straight, (as in straight with a grid square) path. then just click away.

since the update, visitors in groups of 30 to 40 have been walking along the edge of the aisles. in one a precise route.
a bug????

in the second pic, u can see i cant pull a square path from the 2 curved pieces on the sides, only the middle one. as far as line walking, never seen it yet.maybe u have to much crap cluttering up the plaza?

I've noticed something along those lines as well, but I wasn't sure if it had to do with my custom scenario settings (I set the guest popularity at 250%, so I get BIG crowds). I also use double-wide paths (26').

I've noticed strange things around the new picnic tables though - they seem to act as magnets of a sort, even though people aren't really using them. I know what you mean by "hordes of ants following the same line" - I agree it kind of looks like that.

I figure the new picnic tables need some tweaking.

Same here groups of people walking in a line or just standing around people seem to be confused as to where to go
