Building help - Creating large circles - Any vids?

[Magenpie]

Hi there

I'm having difficulty making very big circles, for habitat shapes, pathways etc. I know I've seen at least one vid telling me how but I'm damned if I can find it again. I know there's a way you can do it using the transport tracks as a guide - does this work the same as PlanCo and should I be looking there? Should point out I've never played PlanCo, but I know a lot of the systems are the same.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

All advice about this very welcome! ^^

Many thanks

Well for really big circles I would use transport tracks as a guide if possible.

If you use angle snap you should be able to get a large circle, which should be perfect.

For e.g set angle snap to 15 degrees and then turn it to snap once from straight and you should get a circle, length of track/path etc will determine the size of the circle.

Does that make sense? I can see if I can post pics to explain it better if not.

Also there's some new terrains tools, they might help.

That might give you some ideas.

There is a method to creating circles with the path tool by setting the angle snap on, turning on auto rotate/follow with the camera, and then looking at it from a top-down view.

This tutorial is for Planco but it works the same in Planzoo
