I like your idea! I think a "boundary line" that doesn't effect the street network geometry, particularly by not creating a new node shape, would be great.
Just wanted to note, sometimes you can work around this by creating a street with 0 width and 0 sidewalk widths to help enclose a block without modifying the street shape. But you might have to tinker with how it interacts with your street shapes because it will likely effect the street node's geometry negatively or undesirably.
Thank you, @Anonymous User The main idea was exactly not to affect street network. Zero-street works, but addes new nodes to street geometry (at least).
Yes, the workaround atm is to set street and sidewalk width to zero.
Can you explain more where you run into issues with this approach?
Zero lane width is not possible to set and there is always issue with the graph network.
The block should have a boundary that does not consist of streets, because is at the end/edge of the city.
Hello @MatoBaloga
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I just wanted to mention that with the new CityEngine Street Designer, you can now achieve a 'zero lane width' by simply removing the lane:

Hopefully, this helps address the issue you mentioned.
