Arcing a road with John Speed City Map ('07 Annual Related)
Hey all,
Recently reinstalled my ProFantasy software (had a computer crash about a year ago and just got around to it) and I have been working on a John Speed style village map.
I was going through the tutorial and it mentions on page 3:
"The tool "Street, Polygon" is particularly handy to draw marketplaces and other open, public spaces. And if you draw a little section of road across the river and give it a slight arc, it make for a nice representation of a bridge."
First off, where is the "Street, Polygon" tool? Also, how do you "arc" a section of road? If there is a tutorial on either of these, please send me to them, I have been looking in the help file and via google and I have had zero luck figuring these out.
Thanks,
Bryan Blumklotz

As for Arcing it, i don't know any way to do that automatically with a simple polygon, so I guess Ralf meant that you should draw it in an arc-shape manually.
Thanks. I found the Street, Polygon tool by clicking advanced.
I used the smooth road to arc it over the river and it looks alright. I think the effect would pop more if the rest of the road were straight, but my village is not laid out like a city, the roads are a little more "fluid."
I will post us when I am finally done. I am learning as I go and I have had to erase and redo several sections when I have learned something new that makes it look better.
