Parking islands are placed at the ends of each row of bays and at each change of direction of the row. End islands and bend islands may have different default properties and thereafter any island may be edited such that it becomes unique.
- Select Edit Parking Island from the Vehicle Tracking, Parking Tools menu or click the Edit Parking Island button on the Vehicle Tracking Parking Layout toolbar. Select the row you want to edit. Grips display in each island and the Parking Island Properties dialog is displayed.
- As you move the cursor over each island, the properties dialog updates to show the island properties. All values are displayed as read-only, i.e. non-editable.
As soon as you select an island the properties will become active, i.e. editable.
- Select Footpath if you want a row footpath to continue through the selected island. The same footpath option is shown on the row properties dialog and each updates when the other is changed.
Note: If you select this box but the row has no footpath defined, no footpath is added to the island.
- If you want the island to differ from the standard, select Custom non-standard properties and change appropriate values.
- The angles of ends of the start and end islands may be adjusted. This is often useful if an access road passes the end of the row. You can also edit the left side of the island separately from the right side if necessary. If the end of the island is angled uniformly across the width, select Lock left and right access road angles, and enter just the Left access road angle. If the left and right angles differ, clear this box and additionally enter the Right access road angle.
