Later weвЂ™ll also look at the main road properties found at the top-left and top-right of the window. The dialog is split into options for the left and right terrain of the road, as well as the central reservation. Despite the huge number of boxes on this window, it is straightforward to understand with a little familiarisation. This window lists all of the properties for the road segment we just selected. Then, double-click the red road node that we placed.ДЄ new and slightly frightening window will appear. Return to the top bar of the editor and select the Item Properties button.
