You can also right-click on a red road point and select Road | Flat Section from the right-click menu.
Set the following parameters in the Road Flat Section form:
Length
Specify the Length of the road section.
Length Specified By
The length is measured from a specified (Inner , Outer , Centre , or Custom ) point on the road, taking into account the road width (which is already defined as part of the properties of the road).
To measure the length from a specific point on the road, select the Custom option and specify a value which is a factor of the road width. Values of 0, 0.5, and 1, for example, are equivalent to selecting Inner, Centre, and Outer.
