Hi bruack,

You can use the floor tool (Floor tab) or the fill tool (Landscape tool) , or you can draw the shape with the CAD tools (Detail tab), click on the shape--> Convert to

Don't forget to use several handles to allow the driveway float over topography

Hope this helps

Thanks for your reply, but I don't know what this means. I've been trying to understand 3D (specifically how to implement elevations for some time, unsucessfully). Know of any good books to help me? Regards, Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Your question was "How do I make a path or driveway that varies in width" and this is exactly what I answered. How to elevate the pathway is a different issue

If this helps, here is the answer to the question "how to develop a sloping pathway?"

Step 1: Develop your pathway inserting several handles (points). You need at least one point for each different level. To do this, just click along the pathway line as you draw it (click each time there is level change). Or if you prefer, just add points (snaps bar--> look for the + sign at the bottom of the bar)

Step 2: select the pathway--> Edit--> Float object above topography
