I tryed to use the "auto-road-placing" feature of Visitor3 but found (almost) nothing in the biki.
Straight parts working well but sometimes strange things happen (crazy loops and so on).
So I am looking for better "Auto-find parameters".

You have to construct road networks manually - the auto function does not work.

Please use the search function in this forum looking for "roads" and you will find several threads with good explanations and tutorials on how to do this.

thx, but manual placing isn't the problem - working well.

I'm talking about those parameters:

I apologize, I misunderstood your question. I can't even recall seeing that menu, so I can't help. After attempting to use the auto road function many months ago I gave up and just placed them manually. More accurate for my requirements.

Hmmmm how do you even get to that menu? I think I recall seeing it once.

1. select a road network or place a new road key part
2. Ctrl+Shift+ left-click somewhere on the map
then the menu appears

This function works well. As long as you set up the terrain condtions it will make a decent road. The reason why it loops and does weird stuff is because its attempting to find terrain that matches the parameters you have specified

Is it possible to have a brief explanation of the parameters usage ?
