[Roads](https://support.testfit.io/knowledge/fundamentals?hsLang=en#roads) May 7, 2025 # Roads and Intersections ## Use this feature to create custom roads, street sections, and to assist with urban planning. ![draw roads new ui](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Getting%20started/draw%20roads%20new%20ui.jpg?width=670&height=922&name=draw%20roads%20new%20ui.jpg) --- ### Definitions Road type dimensions and parameters can be customized as needed. - **Name** - what the street section is called - **Sidewalk** - paths that generate crosswalks in intersections - **Buffer** - zoned area that separates a sidewalk, drive, parking or bus lane. Typically used for medians or setting back buildings from the road - **Drive** - area that is driven on by a vehicle - **Parking** - area reserved for street-side parking - **Remove** - removes a specific feature - **White drag handles** - drag up and down to adjust the sequence of features. --- ### Databases There are two databases of road types that are installed in TestFit. #### default ![defualt road database](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/defualt%20road%20database.jpg?width=670&height=407&name=defualt%20road%20database.jpg) #### new urbanist ![new urbanist road database](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/new%20urbanist%20road%20database.jpg?width=670&height=426&name=new%20urbanist%20road%20database.jpg) --- ### **Accessing the road editor** Select ***editor*** in the roads panel. ![roads editor new ui](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Getting%20started/roads%20editor%20new%20ui.jpg?width=670&height=484&name=roads%20editor%20new%20ui.jpg) You'll be brought into the editor, where you can edit existing features or add new ones to create custom road types. ![Road editor2](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/Road%20editor2.png?width=670&height=363&name=Road%20editor2.png) --- ### Creating a new road library Once you have created a new group of road types, save it to the cloud so that you can use those new types in other schemes and deals. ![](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-07-2025-01-01-07-4604-PM.png?width=286&height=502&name=image-png-May-07-2025-01-01-07-4604-PM.png) --- ### Drawing a road Select the desired street section, then draw two points in the plan view. To finish drawing roads, hit Escape or select the desired street again. ---   NOTE: Enclosing an area with roads will let you apply a preset to that area without defining a site.     --- ### **Adding a point** ***Right + click** a road segment \> **add point*** ***![add point](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/add%20point.gif?width=670&height=389&name=add%20point.gif)*** --- ### **Changing road type** ***Right click*** a road segment \> select ***Change Type*** \> ***select nee type***. ![change road type](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/change%20road%20type.gif?width=670&height=337&name=change%20road%20type.gif) --- ### **Creating a curved road** Left click drag the road to convert them to curves. ![curve road](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/curve%20road.gif?width=670&height=337&name=curve%20road.gif) --- ### **Straightening a road** Right click the road and select straighten. ![straighten road](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/straighten%20road.gif?width=670&height=337&name=straighten%20road.gif) --- ### **Generating an intersection** Draw a second road across the first road. ![create intersection](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/create%20intersection.gif?width=670&height=337&name=create%20intersection.gif) --- ### **Manipulating drawn roads** Hover over a road's endpoint then left click drag that same endpoint.  ![manipulating roads](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CS%20-%20Customer%20Success/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/CS%20-%20Knowledge%20Base/Roads/manipulating%20roads.gif?width=670&height=372&name=manipulating%20roads.gif) --- ### **Midpoint Grip** There is a handle in the middle of road segments that can be moved to slide the entire road segment at once.  ### **![RoadGrip](https://support.testfit.io/hs-fs/hubfs/RoadGrip.gif?width=670&height=377&name=RoadGrip.gif)** NOTE: At this time, only 64 road segments are support in any single deal ---   -
