Road markings

Area Marking: 1 FlowDraw a one-sided zebrado along one reference line: angled stubs at a fixed spacing, studs, a trim reference and a live preview that redraws on every change. Area Marking: 2 FlowsFill the gore between two converging or diverging lines with chevron or diagonal strips, studs and channelising lines to the norm, with live preview. Area Marking: 3 FlowsDraw the zebrado of a three-leg junction island: white chevrons where flows run together, yellow hatching where they oppose, with studs, trims and live preview. Area Marking: LinearDraw a linear zebrado along a centreline: V-shaped chevrons of constant width between two offset edges, four patterns, studs, delineators and a live preview. CrossingsDraw a pedestrian or cycle crossing across a road width line: zebra stripes, black contrast, stop lines, give-way teeth, lane lines, legends, live preview. Crossings (simplified)Draw a UK zebra crossing to TSRGD from two points across the road: white stripes, optional black contrast, give-way lines and stud lines, with live preview. Marking StripDraw road markings from parametric definitions: pick one from the library, apply it on a base line and get layers, widths and dash cadences automatically. Parking BaysLay out rows of parking bays from a base line: width, depth, angle, back and front styles, numbering, quantification blocks, pictograms, text and zebra fill. Distance MarkerInsert distance-marker blocks along a road at a fixed interval, with the Divider Assistant opened pre-configured for markers: block output, 10-unit spacing, 270° rotation.
