Flatten Junction

The Flatten Junction tool allows users to flatten the elevation of roads within a junction. It adjusts the elevation of the connecting roads to create a flat elevation across the junction.

Notes

  • Selecting a Road ID from the Junction panel only highlights the corresponding road on the map; it does not limit the flattening operation to that road.

  • The required junction can be searched using the Junction ID search bar in the left-side Junction panel.
  • Flatten applies to the entire selected junction.
