Adding a Road Decal

The Road Decal object is used to add flat detail to road surfaces, such as painted symbols, drains, manhole covers, and more. The Road Decal object is very similar to the Overlay object.

To add a road decal:

1.   Click the Add Road Decal button that appears near the top of the screen under the Road tab.

2.   Click the picture of the default road decal that appears to the right of the screen, and then select the decal you would like to use.

3.   Click on your design where you wish to place the road decal.

In the design below, the Road Decal object was used to designate the handicapped parking space.

Importing Custom Road Decals

Custom road decals can be imported from images taken with a digital camera or downloaded online. To import custom road decals or other image-based objects, use the Picture Import Wizard.

Tips:

•      Road Decals will only display over roads that were added using the Road tool, and will not display over roads added through the Road Accessory tool.

•      Road Decals are compatible with sloping and slanted roadways.
