Is there an easy way to make a curved driveway?  You would think that you can have a deflection in the driveway or draw it curved but nope, I dont see it.

Got it.  I thought I could just draw a curved driveway like a curved wall or similar but had to draw it regular and then edit the edges to be able to put a radius in.  Still would like to see an easier way.

You could use a spline instead of lines.

I have tried spline but either it doesnt work correctly or (more likely) I dont know how to use it.

one way to draw a curved driveway.

 

draw one of the curved lines with a / shape/arc (S-E-R) an easy arc to draw with for most situations

than OFFSET the one arc the width of the driveway.  than "with SNAP ON"

connect the two arcs at each end with a LINE.

 

than go to EDIT / form solid polygon  >>>  left click on each of the 4 shapes and than

left click one more time which will create the SOLID POLYGON

 

btw.  you can do this for a driveway on a flat site or best to use the driveway feature in SITE mode.

 

TIP:  learn how to use the SITE mode especially for sites with lots of terrain / lakes  / terrain, etc, etc, etc
