Shift allows for free-drawing, but what makes circles?

Post by AlanOfTheBerg
Here's a landmark created by Dror a long time ago. You could perhaps do this with free-drawing mode, but this is a perfect ellipse. Do we have a tool for that? :)

Yes, and I've done that for roads before. Didn't think to apply that to landmarks. Of course, as you point out, the "Why?" question doesn't have many, if any, need for circular or elliptical landmarks.

Yeah, but we are talking about landmarks here. Changing to a standard road is an unnecessary step in the creation of "perfect" landmarks.

Don't think I've seen that one. Is it in the wiki? :D

Np. I should have put "landmarks" in the subject for clarity.

Bah, my bad. I didn't read well enough first. :(

Sorry!

I'm not aware of one, but I can offer a workaround - depending on how desperate you are to have a smooth shape! :lol:

Draw a roundabout. Then draw a landmark inside it, snapping the landmark points to the roundabout. Then delete the roundabout.

You can even shortcut that a bit further. There is a Roundabout Helper script by davipt that adds a button to create a roundabout landmark.

Nope. Last time I spoke to Bruno, I don't think he was doing any work on it but - unlike many other scripts - this one has continued to work through several WME and Chrome upgrades. :shock:

I don't use it often but it's useful when I do need it. We have a few roundabouts on this side of the pond. :) Main gotcha is to remember to turn on the landmarks layer - it will draw them whether you have the layer visible or not.
