This page is being proposed as a replacement for the current Settings section of the WME page.

Settings

This section was updated as of April 2017

To access user-preference settings in WME, click the "gear" tab in the left pane. Options include:

  • Draw new roads as two-way - If checked, new road segments you draw start as two-way; if unchecked they are drawn as one-way.
  • Draw new roads with all turns allowed - If checked, new roads are drawn with a connection to a junction and all "turns" to or from the new segment are initially allowed; if unchecked, all turns are initially disallowed.
  • Select only if nothing else is selected (multi-select still available) - Affects editor behavior when you select an object (road segment, junction, or place) when there is already an object(s) selected.
    • If checked, you are prevented from selecting a new object if there is anything already selected. Note that multi-select mode allows you to select additional segments when segment(s) are already selected; use the control key for momentary multi-select, or press the M keyboard shortcut to toggle multi-select mode on/off. Also note that clicking an empty spot can still cause deselection.
    • If not checked, then clicking on an object will automatically deselect any other objects already selected. This may cause accidental deselection.
  • Units - Choose between Imperial (feet/miles) or Metric (meters/kilometers)
  • Environments - A drop down box to adjust internal WME settings/behavior specific to your region of the world. US editors should select North America only. This setting is also displayed in the upper left corner of the display and can be changed there as well.
  • Language - A drop down box to change the language preference used in WME. US English is the preferred setting as this has been customized for US editors. Note that the default is universal English.
