Is it possible ?

[Jason]

Is this a serious question?

Let me just put this into perspective...

"Can you build a House with a floorplan only."
you can only go so far with a floorplan, but youll need to build everything yourself.

You may be able to use Sketchup to build streets and buildings. However, its a long and teidious process and If you have no real desire to put forth the effort to spend countless hours building the map then dont even bother looking into it.

Just use them to model the roads

Just do a fictional city/track; not a actual place. As for getting the roads and everything sized good, just use Maxoff's simple city for sizing. You will probably need to resize again but not a whole lot.

If you actually get serious with this and ever need help, just ask me. Seriously though.

Well, put it this way with Exeter I compiled a map of the whole of Exeter shove it on a 1024 x 1024 canas and then you've got your map, I resized it and then you cna work from there.

I'm working on a program to do something like this. It will work using a roadmap (from google or wherever) for the Z and X- and a height file from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission for the Y.

The exact geographic coordinates of at least 2 points will need to be provided, Then user can click all the points needed to generate a road.

if anyone knows how to get the coordinates of all the points on a google map (without having to click on each one) Let me know ASAP, as this will practically automate the process.

The road adding feature is functional, but still buggy-
The killer is intersections, as it is now they need to be done manually, so I'll be working on an automatic intersection maker, which will make entering in a real city much easier.
I still need to add a routine to fill in the gaps between the roads with empty blocks. A random building generator would be nice, but don't hold your breath.

It's far, far from being finished, but the road adder part is useful for modding cities.

Wow. That sounds well good. And will make city making proper easy. Well done Luther.

Sounds great... and very ambitious.
