Ability to create 90deg corners when creating coverage areas, buildings, etc

Ability to create 90deg corners when creating coverage areas, buildings, etc

This is a request from Enterprise Priority Support Customer.

 

I would like the ability to create 90deg corners when placing coverage areas, buildings using either keyboard shortcuts or ALT contextual menu. Similar to this new idea: Keyboard Commands for Roadway Creation

I like the way you think, Morgan. This is similar to another Idea I posted CAD Style Drawing Tools.

@morgan.smith, this is already possible by editing the "SmoothParam" variable in the Coverage.json file in the model folder here: <modelName.files>\unver\DrawTools. Same goes for Buildings and the Building.json config file. In the latest version this parameter is set to 0.0 and results in 90 degree corners on Coverage Areas but in the older versions of InfraWorks 360 it didn't.

Need more. It is necessary to set the angle during the creation. At least in increments of 1 degree. Absolute angle at the first point and relative on the subsequent. 

 

By analogy, my idea for roads
