The Footpath and Driveway object is very similar to a Road object, but is more suitable for designing paths, cycleways and driveways.
A Footpath/Driveway object differs from a Road object in the following aspects:
A footpath is distinct from a footway in that a footway runs along the side of a road, taking its vertical levelling from the vertical alignment of the road, whereas a footpath has its own centreline and vertical alignment.
To access the tools for creating and modifying footpaths and driveways click the button.
You will see this toolbar appear on the top left of the plan view window:
A footpath or driveway is operated almost identically to a road centreline, and much of the functionality for roads is also available for footpaths and driveways.
For information on how to use footpath and driveway functions please take a look at the Road Tools help pages, as Roads and Footpaths/Cycleways/Driveways work in a very similar way:
Start New Centreline
Add IP (Intersection Point) into the Centreline
Fillet an IP on a Centreline (Add or change a curve)
Move an IP on a Centreline
Delete an IP from a Centreline
Add/Edit channels and kerbs
View road longsection and edit the vertical alignment
View vertical cross-sections along the road
Show design surface contours
Edit properties of the footpath/driveway
View centreline, channel and kerb levels at selected chainage along the road
Delete a whole footpath/driveway
