Shape elements#
There are three different types of shape elements: Polygons, POI's (Points-of-interest) and POI Lanes. Shapes can be inserted while in Network supermode (F2) and selecting POI-Poly mode (P). Previously created shapes may also be imported, selecting File
-> Additionals and Shapes
-> Load Additionals...
(or via the Ctrl + A
Shortcut).
Polygon#
To create a polygon, select poly
in the Shape elements drop-down list. Before drawing the polygon, you may change some of its attributes such as the id, color, select whether you want a filled polygon or just the contour, among many other options. Note that some attributes can be modified later, in Inspect mode .
To start drawing the polygon, click on Start drawing
or press <ENTER>. To finish the shape creation, either click on Stop drawing
or press <ENTER>.
<SHIFT> + click (anywhere) removes the last inserted point, and selecting Abort drawing
or simply pressing <ESC> aborts the shape creation.
