Overview

In this brief tutorial, we’ll go over the basic steps to generate any modern city inside CityBLD.

This tutorial was written for CityBLD Beta 0.3.3.

Step 1: Setup

• We’ll start by creating a new level. Since the Open World template uses World Partition and requires a bit more setup to use with CityBLD, we’ll go for Basic for this tutorial.

• We'll then jump into the City Builder editor mode.
• Initially we won't be able to do anything because we have no City Kit loaded in. Follow the prompts to load in a Kit of your choice. I’ll use Modern City Kit for this example.

Step 2: Roads

• Let's switch over to the Roads tab. Here we have a selection of tools for drawing and adjusting roads.

  

• By default we are in the Dynamic Roads tool. We'll use this to lay down our city's streets.

• Open the Presets drop-down menu. This will list all the pre-configured road types in your chosen City Kit. Let's choose the 2 Lane A preset with sidewalks.

• Click anywhere in the level to draw roads, and hit ESC to exit the tool.

• Click on existing roads to create an intersection. When the brush turns yellow, you can connect.
