Is it possible to remove the existing roads?

I downloaded the existing situation, but on my plot I'm trying to run analysis of the future situation. Is it possible to remove the existing roads only on my plot?

Hi @Blanka_Omari . Yes you can. If you find the base layer in the left hand menu and press the pen, you can edit the existing roads as you like. See screenshot.

You can also create different future scenarios by creating new bases each with their own roads eg to simulate changes in traffic.

Hope this helps?

@kasper.herlov Thanks! I knew how to add roads, but didn't realize that if you double click you get the control points that you can remove. I have another question though. I modeled a geometry that covers the tunnel. On top of that geometry I want to make another road that generates noise. It seems though as if it's only possible to draw the road that snaps to the terrain. Is that correct?

(if you see the image, the red part is the one I cannot draw)

Correct. You could get an indicative result by creating a new proposal where you make a building pad on this area, and then you can add a road on top of the building pad as that corresponds to terrain. Specifically, you should add a zone on the part of the geometry in question, and then you can trace this to make a building pad afterwards. This might reduce accuracy of course, but depending on circumstance it might be useful still.
