Walkway Wizard

Create walkways by drawing a guide path, setting width and end caps, then configuring the surface color or material and border.

Create a walkway around a prepared centerline. The workspace has Width & End Caps and Surface & Border steps. Width controls the path ribbon; end caps control its two ends; the border has its own appearance and side selection.

1

Prepare the input and open the wizard

Draw the open line or path in the main editor first, then choose Walkway in the Hardscape Add panel. Select the prepared outline when the canvas asks for it. With one compatible shape already selected, the wizard can open directly. The wizard opens a full-window workspace with a preview; it does not ask you to draw inside an inspector sidebar.

2

Set width and end caps

In Width & End Caps, set the width and choose the offered Start and End cap styles. Check the preview at tight bends. If the walkway is wider than the radius of a bend, reduce its width or make that bend gentler.

3

Choose the surface and corners

In Surface & Border, choose the Walkway Surface color or material. Surface Corner Style controls the shape at bends. Inspect the result along the whole route.

4

Add a border

Enable Border Edge when needed. Set Side and Width, then choose the Edge Surface separately. Left and right follow the direction of the input path.

5

Check the terrain warning

When ground heights vary along the path, the workspace can show a flat ribbon while the applied walkway follows terrain. Read the displayed warning and inspect the placed result in the main 3D view.

6

Check and apply

Use Back and Next to inspect the wizard settings and preview. Correct any validation message before applying. Apply on the final step creates or updates the object; Cancel leaves without applying the current wizard draft.

7

Edit the object later

Select the placed object to use the Inspector’s available editing controls. Whole-object wizard settings and individual Structure editor member edits are different operations. Reapplying a wizard can ask how to handle existing member edits; read that choice before confirming. In the Structure editor, Done keeps member edits and Cancel attempts to undo available changes back to entry.
