      Hi all, has anyone any advice on how to make road markings... ie centreline, dashed, solid, lane markers etc. I use Pro V8 & dender with SU Podium on Windows 7. I've looked at Rick Wilson's PathCopy plugin which doesn't rotate the group around a curve & wondered if there is any other method of copying a group/cpmponent or indeed another approach alltogether. Maybe a texture mapping method that could cope with curves/bends?
      Thanks

        Texture mapping would be good although I would be inclined to use Offset from the inside edge of the roadway to create the marking at least around the corner.

          Ta, do you mean draw each marking individually around a bend?

            If the curve is circular, you could rotate/copy a single curved line component around the corner.

            I did this between answering your post, approving your last post and writing this. Pretty quick.
