"Square" paths don't join shops

[HeatherG]

i'm curious why...when you put a shop down and try to put a "square " path up to a shop it doesn't connect to shops tye way regular paths do.

thanks

it should if its on the same grid. I think square paths are only on a grid...yes???

 

[breezerHOG1]

have you tried placing the path first?

What I usually do is start with a normal path next to the shop then use the grid feature to change to square paths.

When you say "square path", do you mean you're putting the path on the a grid? If so, understand that gridded paths can only connect to other squares on the same level of the same grid. They cannot connect to shops, rides, pre-existing non-gridded paths, paths on other grids, or paths on different levels of the same grid.

So, to put a shop on the edge of a gridded path area, do the following:

1. Place the shop first. This avoids it trying to autoconnect to the gridded area, which can cause problems.

2. Make the gridded path area but leave 1 square of space between the edge of the gridded path and the shop.

3. Hit ESC to get out of gridded path mode.

4. Use ungridded path to connect the shop to the gridded path area.
