• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

There are a number of helper shapes that can be used to form the template for aprons and painted lines. They are accessed from the right click menu

Select your choice and you can then edit, rotate or move it into position

While it is selected use the right click menu and select Make Apron or Make Painted Line

After you make the apron or line either delete the helper or move it to another place and re-use.

For some shapes you will be asked to choose how many vertex points you want to use. Generally the bigger the size of the shape the more points

If the vertices overlap then you can change the size by using the Z key as per the tooltip

If it is a painted line then use the property grid to change the type from default if you wish
