Is there a way in the iD editor to create a parallel way using an existing way, similar to Potlatch2 and JOSM? asked 17 Aug '17, 11:41  zstadler |
One Answer:
One thing you can do is copy/paste. Select a way, Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste, and you will have a copy of the original way that you can place where you want. answered 17 Aug '17, 14:53  neuhausr |
This is different than creating a parallel way. When JOSM and Potlatch2 create a parallel way, it follows the shape of the source way. This allows, for example, creation of co-centric circles, a barrier along a closed way, etc.
Good point, although this would work decently in some situations (like the barrier you linked to). Is there a particular use case you have in mind?
