Bridges / Elevated Roads

Elevated roads allow you to create road sections that pass over other roads or terrain. They're perfect for creating overpasses, bridges, and multi-level track layouts.

Creating Elevated Roads

To create an elevated road:

1. Activate the Elevated Road tool from the toolbar
2. Left click to place control points, similar to drawing regular roads
3. The road will be automatically elevated on support poles
4. Continue placing points to define your elevated road path

Editing Elevated Road Height

You can adjust the height of individual control points on an elevated road:

1. Activate the Edit Elevated Road tool
2. Click on a control point to select it
3. Scroll the mouse wheel to increase or decrease that point's height
4. The height adjustment applies to that specific point, creating ramps and elevation changes

This allows you to create smooth transitions between elevated and ground-level sections.

Creating Ramps

You can create ramps that connect elevated roads to ground level:

• Use the Edit Elevated Road tool to fully decrease the height of control points at the end of an elevated road
• When a point reaches ground level, you can connect a normal road to it
• This creates a seamless transition from elevated to ground-level roads

Road Tools Compatibility

Many tools from the regular Road tool also work with elevated roads:

• Camber Tool - Add banking to elevated road corners, just like regular roads
• Curve Tool - Adjust corner sharpness on elevated roads using the same curve tool

This gives you the same level of control over elevated roads as you have with regular roads.

Connecting to Elevated Roads

You can connect regular roads to elevated roads in several ways:

• Ramp connections - Create ramps by lowering elevated road points to ground level, then connect normal roads to those points
• Side exits - Connect normal roads to elevated road edges for side exits and intersections

Walls and Kerbs

Walls and kerbs can be used with elevated roads:

• Walls - You can snap walls to elevated road edges, just like regular roads. This allows you to add safety barriers along elevated sections
• Kerbs - Kerbs can be placed along elevated road edges, though this feature is still being refined

Use Cases

• Overpasses - Create roads that pass over other roads or terrain
• Multi-level tracks - Build complex track layouts with multiple elevation levels
• Bridges - Create bridges over water, valleys, or other terrain features
• Ramps and transitions - Connect elevated sections to ground-level roads with smooth ramps
