Is there an easier way to apply Tarmac (the "black lines" around the edges of the taxiways in places like KATL and such) to the taxiways of an Airport other than just going click by click all the way around the airport? lol
I find it rather difficult to do it the LONG way, is there like a utility or a way in AFCAD2 to quickly apply tarmac to the outer edges of the taxiways?

Thanks in advance guys!!  :)

The word 'tarmac' is not used in AF2. The commonly used term is 'apron'; neither of which, refer to any lines around the edges.

Lee Swordy's definition of 'apron' as it applies to AF2:

"38. Aprons
Aprons are expanses of concrete or other material that aircraft can park on or taxi over.  Apron surfaces are not just used for parking areas, they can be used anywhere at an airport that extra pieces of pavement are needed, such as to widen a taxiway for a waiting area, or turn-around bays on runways, or for enlarging junctions."

Using the Apron Tool in AF2 is explained in the AF2 Readme file. Hope this helps.

yes yes lol, i know how to use the Apron tool in AF2 lol.
i'm just asking if there is an easier way to apply an apron to the taxiway edges, because it takes a very very long time to apply aprons to the taxiways in airports like KATL (which i am currently working on) lol.

thanks in advance!  :D

Yes is the simple answer to your question.

wow, thanks!!  :o
I will try it sometime!
thanx again!! lol
