In this tutorial, we take a short break from actually mapping our city to explore the essential skills you will need for drawing roads.
You will learn:
1. How to draw a default road
2. How to select different road drawing tools: paves roads, dust, roads, and dirt roads, and roads of different widths.
3. How to use the Attach and Modifier tools to get your roads to align and join up perfectly with each other.
4. How to adjust the width of roads you've already drawn onto your map, either individually or many at a time.
5. How to change the 'fill' (color and texture) of the roads already drawn on your map.
This tutorial is aimed at absolute beginners, but also gives great advice mappers with a little more experience.
I strongly urge you to watch it before going on to the next part of our tutorial series, where you actually add roads to your city map.
