[Script] WME Straighten Up!

WME Straighten Up! (WME SU!)

Version: 2024.01.31.01

Greasyfork: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/38834 ... aighten-up

Description: Straighten selected WME segment(s) by aligning along straight line between two end points and removing geometry nodes.

Developer(s): dBsooner through WazeDev. WazeDev owns the script and all information attached to it.

Special note: Due to the nature of this script, it will not work for editors rank 1 or 2.

Feature list:

Straighten selected segments so they are all in a perfectly straight line between the two endpoint junction nodes. This is done by moving the JNs between the endpoints to the nearest point on the vector line between the two endpoints.
All segments must be at least partially in the current view of the map.
Recommended to only select continuous segments and segments share at least one name in common.
Shortcut to run script available under editing shortcuts in WME.
Translatable into any supported WME language. (Calling anyone that wants to assist in translating... PM me.)
Safety checks for:
- Segments with conflicting names.
- Long junction node moves (when a JN would move a distance greater than 10m).
- Micro doglegs (mDL) checks:
  - 1 segment selected: Will check for existence of a geometry node within 2 meters, on the selected segment only, of either junction node.
  - More than 1 segment selected: Will check for existence of a geometry node within 2 meters of all junction nodes on all segments connected to the junction node, regardless if the segments are in the selection or not. The reason is if the junction node is moved, it could affect the angle of a mDL on any segment, not just the segments selected.
- Non-continuous selected segments (when selected segments don't form a continuous selection).
- Sanity check (when you select more than 10 segments at once).
Note: These safety checks can be controlled via settings to: Give a warning, give an error or give no warning or error.

Instructions:

Select the starting segment.
ALT+click the ending segment.
Note: If the segments you wanted to straighten are not all selected, unselect the segmens and start over using CTRL+click to select each segment instead.
Click "Straighten up!" button in the sidebar.

History: I have worked with an author of a script that wasn't well known that would straighten segments by move nodes to a straight line along a vector between two other points. I took their original code and modified it to be quicker, more reliable and provide some additional features and safety measures.

Special thanks: jonny3D (and impulse200) for allowing me to fork his / their work to create this.

Installing and checking out. It's already my favorite script!

I have a suggestion, that I don't know if can be done.
I'd like to have the option of instead of moving a node to the nearest vector, to move it to the straight point of the intersecting road.
Maybe it can be an option, perhaps when you select four segments converging to a node.

Let me know if you think this is feasible

Thank you

Is there any chance another script writer will fork this project and release a version that works?

I forgot to add that it also checks for micro dog legs (mDLs). If a geometry node exists within 2m of a JN, it gives you a warning. I need to add that as a setting override as well.

I could try. The problem will be we would have to rely on the routing server to determine what the "straight line" is between the two selected segments. Sometimes that ends up being not what we would expect to be. I'll give it some thought and see what I can come up with.

I apologize. What I wanted is already there – you need to select the initial segment and with Alt-button select the final one to select the part of the street between two points.

Yep, that's the easiest way to do it. It is in the "help" documentation in the SU! sidepanel button. It's also in the text I sent to you to have translated to Russian.

Thank you again for everything!!

2019.08.16.01 has been released!!

Code: Select all

2019.08.16.01: CHANGE: Enhance check for micro doglegs (mDL).

Instead of just checking for geometry nodes within 2 meters of the junction nodes along the selected segments, I changed to checking for them along ALL segments connected to the junction nodes.

Micro doglegs (mDL) checks:

1 segment selected: Will check for existence of a geometry node within 2 meters, on the selected segment only, of either junction node.
More than 1 segment selected: Will check for existence of a geometry node within 2 meters of all junction nodes on all segments connected to the junction node, regardless if the segments are in the selection or not. The reason is if the junction node is moved, it could affect the angle of a mDL on any segment, not just the segments selected.
