Section Mode

Note

This is the Section tile in the Edit palette of the Meta Road editor mode (see The Meta Road Editor Mode).

Section Mode edits the Road Lanes and Road Sections of the selected road.

Road Section Editing

Selecting a section

Click a section in the viewport. The selected section is highlighted, a move handle appears at its start, and a viewport overlay shows its S (arc-length) offset. The Details Selection panel then shows the section’s properties:

Property	Meaning
Side	Both / Left / Right — which side(s) this section governs (enables asymmetric layouts)
SOffset	Arc-length position where the section starts
SOffset End Cached	Computed end of the section (read-only)
Label	Optional name for the section
Skip Landscape	Exclude this section from landscape deformation
Section Index	Position in the layout (read-only)
Attributes	Section-level attributes (e.g. a road Mark)

Drag the section handle in the viewport to move its boundary along the road:

Adding and removing sections

Add (split) and delete Road Sections from the right-click context menu — you need a new section wherever the lane count changes (for example before a ramp):

Road Lane Editing

Selecting a lane

Click a lane in the viewport; it is highlighted (orange) with a move gizmo. The Details Selection panel shows the lane’s properties:

Property	Meaning
Road Zone	The lane’s surface — a Road Zone (a Zone Type + optional material/decal/priority overrides)
Zone Type	Which Zone Type the lane uses (Driving / Sidewalk / Tram / …) — sets the default material and behavior
Direction	Default / Invert — per-lane traffic direction
Override Material / Decal / Priority	Per-lane overrides of the zone’s defaults
Invert UV0, Skip Procedural Generation	Per-lane mesh flags
String / Float / Zone Tags	Arbitrary per-lane metadata

The surface-type system (Zone Types, Road Zones, materials, project settings) is described in Road Zones and Zone Types.

Selecting multiple lanes

You can select several lanes at once. Hold Ctrl and click lanes to toggle each one in or out of the selection — the set may span different sections. A plain (non-Ctrl) click clears the set and selects a single lane again. The last lane you click is the primary one: it carries the move gizmo and drives the Road Zone picker.

With more than one lane selected, the Selection panel becomes a multi-edit:

• Editing any property writes it to every selected lane at once.

• Where the selected lanes disagree on a value, the field shows Multiple Values.

The right-click context menu also acts on the whole selection:

• Delete Lane — removes all selected lanes.

• Reverse Direction — flips the traffic direction of all selected lanes.

Adding and removing lanes

Add and delete Road Lanes from the right-click context menu:
