Turning DWG Road Lines into Roads and Sidewalks
Turn DWG road lines into real roads and sidewalks in the site plan.
- Verify the DWG is visible (adjust Crop View / View Range if needed).
- Identify road/sidewalk lines.
- Go to Architecture → Floor.
- Use Pick Lines and press Tab to select continuous chains from the DWG.
- Close sketch boundaries to form a valid Floor Sketch.
- Finish the sketch to create:
- A road surface floor.
- A sidewalk floor (separate element with a different material).
Tip:
Use distinct Materials so hatches differ graphically in diagrams.
