Pedestrian streets modelling

Question

Hello all,

I am modelling a center of a city which have a lot of streets only for pedestrian use. I would like to include those streets in my model but make it clear that they aren't for cars. I made some small changes to the default Street_Modern_Standard rule file so that I have a different texture on those streets and also have them on the level of sidewalks. This works pretty well when those streets are perpendicular to car streets but the results on other angles aren't that good (see screenshot).

Anyone has an idea on how I could make the car street boundary follow the red line?

I wish there was a better solution than this, but this seems to do the trick! Good suggestion Brian.

Glad I could help.   On another note, you might want to check out David's latest version of complete streets at his Github.  He made some significant texturing improvements that take advantage of CityEngine's newish PBR material appearance in the viewport; and if you want to export to a rendering program he converted most/all of the road markings into format for 'decals'.  https://github.com/d-wasserman/Complete_Street_Rule .   Also, I just generally like a darker concrete texture too, which he also uses, although I'm modifying a few things of his code to replace the asphalt texture using a file directory selector.

Thanks a lot Brian!

Reducing the radius to 1, or even to 0.1, significantly reduces the modelling issue!

It is actually almost perfect in most cases.
