Create
Tools be used to create polygon,such as curb of a road,stairs,polygons by piece shapes
FreePoly,DragPoly,CapEdges,ShapeEdges,LoftSplines
FreePoly | DragPoly | ShapeEdge |
CapEdges |
Crossroads
Create crossroads with overlapped faces of two roads.Radius of every corners can be changed.
AppendPoly
AppendPoly | Resample |
"Resample" will convert resampled Editable spline to Editable poly if check "ConvToPoly"
"Make Hole "and "Fill Hole" are deficient functions,ignore them.

Free Stairs
Quickly create stairs for landscape,whose work way is very simple and free,you can just snap 2 or 4 points to easily create a stair,or turn selected quad polygons to stairs with preference settings .
FreeStair:
Use two points as start edges ,or two additional points as end edges to create stair.The points can be from selected vertices or points snapped with mouse.Also,you can create multi-stage free stair which mean there will a platform every specified number of steps.

FacesToStair:
Obviously,FreeStair is not enough if you have too many stairs ,such as hundreds of stairs to build,you can first build stairs to quad-like polygons,which mean the number edges can be bigger than 4,then use the powerful tool to turn them to stairs one time.

IrregularStair
1.Create stair with style lines which can be splines or inner edges of selected faces of polygon 2.Pave steps along a curve path.
Create Stair by parallel splines | Create Stair by split polygons |
Pave stair along a curve |

PiecePoly
Splines interlaced with each other will form many closed areas,the process extracting these closed areas as poly faces is called PiecePoly.
The powerful tools is a great resolution to create seamless joined polygons, operating is also very simple.An UI control is also offered which be used to decide the number of vertices how to change with arc radius.

SweepEdge
Big amount of curbstone creating tool.Actually,it can loft any shape of cross-section,which extrude a cross-section along underlying paths in a way similar to loft or sweep modifier, but can always keep the cross-section up-right and level without twisting.The underlying paths can be continuous edges,splines or NURBS curves, the procedure can auto select the right side of edge to sweep.
There are three situation for different cross-section.
Curb | Stair | StoreSection |
Sweep_Belt | Sweep_CustomSection |
Used to create curbstone,the cross-section is an open rectangle ,you also can create curbstone with side-way,grass ground,or offset a path to create a polygon strip.
Clone a step Repeatedly as cross-section ,sweep along a path to create stair.
Use yourself pre-made cross-section to sweep ,you can draw any spline for your cross-section and store it for reusing later ,the procedure can also multiplly clone cross-section to form a new cross-section.
