Path and plaza making problems. Please help if possible. Real problems

I am hoping someone can take mercy on me and help me. I for the life of me do not understand this path system. I just can’t figure it out. I started off in sand box mode. I though it may be like SimCity where you simply place a road and drag it where you want it.

I simply wanted to make a small plaza but the blue area goes all over the path. I just want a small or med or maybe a large square but it goes right over the path I just made. I do not understand how to control this to make it the size I want in the area I want. I don’t know how to adjust it. Plus when I get the square the original path is right in the middle of it

I have watched videos galore but they do not help because they do not seem to have the same issue I am having.
Also when I am making a simple straight path and want the path to stop so I can go back to the controls to maybe choose another type of path I want the first path to stop. I want to be able to move my mouse without the path moving. Do I right click? Escape?

These are probably simple questions but I am not getting it. I want this to be fun but so far it’s nothing but frustration, If anyone thinks they can help me I’d really be grateful.

Use select grid to align with the path.
I think that's what he means.
And hit escape in gridded mode to disable grid mode.
You can just select another path to use different textures.

Also you can't drag. Only use longer paths sections.

It does not look like you are building on a grid correctly. You have a normal path made with the spline tool but then you are trying to combine that with a path from a grid, that wont work. You need to make sure the land is flat then start building your plaza on your grid. Once you finished your plaza then you start branching off your path using the normal path tool. You will not be able to build a path and then have the grid connect
