Flummoxed By Roads and Sidewalks...

I've never had this problem before but I can't seem to get roads and sidewalk to follow the terrain equally among other problems. DropBox link and video below.

 

THANK YOU

Larry,

What tools did you use for the driveways?

Straight and Spline driveways do not exactly follow the terrain like a Terrain Feature - they modify the terrain so that the road is level across it's width. ie cut and fill the terrain.

If you want a road the just sits on top of the terrain, use a Polyline Road.

With a Polyline Road yo need to do all the shaping with Terrain Data which means that it will not cut and fill, but instead just sit on the terrain.

THANK YOU Glenn!! Both the ploy line road and poly line sidewalk AND the ploy line driveway seem to follow the terrain just right!! The only tin missing is the apron the curb which the PL driveway does not seem to cut but I can easily work around that. Thank you again!!
