You can also edit a road by selecting from the following options on the right-click Road menu:
None
When you right-click on an ordinary point (i.e. a blue point that is not a road point), the None option is selected. You can end a road by clicking on a road point and then selecting this option.
Road <Form Set>
When you save the properties of a road as a form set (using the Forms button in the Road Properties form) the name of that form set will be available under the Road right-click menu. This provides a quick way of setting the properties of a road using known parameters.
Switchback
Select the Road | Switchback | Flat option (or click on the Flat Switchback button on the Pit Design toolbar and select a red road point) to automatically switch the direction of the current road from clockwise to anti-clockwise (or vice versa). See: Create a flat switchback
Flat Section
Select the Road | Flat Section option (or click on the Flat Section button on the Pit Design toolbar and select a red road point) to generate horizontal parts of a road for a specified distance, including the option of having flat road sections between benches. This is a technical requirement in many mines. See: Create a flat section of road

Select the Road | Manual Road Edge option to manually build a haul road that ascends or descends from a selected (crest or toe) start string. See: Create a manual road edge
