When adding roads, are they supposed to snap together?

[jonpd]

Adding roads using newroads 4, when I add a section of road to an existing road, shouldn't they snap together like track does? I don't seem to be able to get this to happen. I can get them close but they don't seem to be attached as the car spawner doesn't want to extend to the new road section. The newly added section is the one at the bottom of the screen in the screen shot.

They normally do. Is this a 250m piece by chance? I have noticed pieces of that length won't always connect even though the shapes line up. It's fairly rare, but a pain when it does happen

Try:
1. Select the road piece
2. Press Z . . . that should remove the Blue Line above the selected road section.
3. Now select the road again and attempt to drag it to where you want it connected. It should drag/slide along the terrain! If it does not then toggle the Cursor Mode using the [SHIFT+Q] key.
4. or . . . try a different road section and see if that 'snaps' correctly.

Thanks Vince. I tried this yesterday on a test route I have and that worked, with track as well as with roads.

Glad I could help.
Have you looked through the Tip &Tricks thread? I put a lot of my track and road assembly methods in there.
