Re: Create a room between rooms
Again an excellent tutorial to solve another part of the problem!
2. With the risk to upset you (& anyone else) with my complicated solutions:
No one will be upset, I already use some of the solutions but your tutorials are very good and they make the solutions available for all users.

I know it is not so simple and is not perfect
but until we will have more clever tools
we have to solve the problems with what we have.
I agree it's not that simple, which is the main reason for my wish to have a simple double-click to fill a space between rooms. I still wonder why it isn't one of the basic tools to create rooms since it seems so obvious.

Creating an accurate middle line will remain a nightmare. The main problem is that a texture doesn't follow the curve of a line. So we are stuck with a line of rooms or individual line objects.
Some time ago I created those line and arrow objects and so far that seems a good solution. It's just tedious work to arrange so many objects to form a longer, broken line. With elevated terrains it becomes even more difficult because you also have to elevate and tilt each line part to go along with the terrain elevation. Aesthetically they are correct because if you look at a real road marking you will see that the paint layer is quite thick so a road line that sticks up two millimeter is pretty realistic. Understandably adding those lines is the very last thing I do and not until I'm absolutely sure I really need them and I'm also sure the road will not change again!
