Intersection Marking Tool Tutorial - Cities Skylines

The "Intersection Marking Tool" mod for Cities: Skylines allows players to add definition and beauty to conspicuously blank intersections. No props or decals required. Configurations can be copied and saved as templates. Lines also remain if the intersection is edited or moved with "Move It". This can turn an empty ambiguous space into something clean and defined.

This, and Node Controller are perfect examples of how a Mod can cause you to spend hours working on the smallest things.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

exactly why I had to unsubscribe. it's such a satisfying mod but I get too addicted to doing it

[@sjguy1962]

Going to have to start a whole new city build to add this and a few other new awesome mods. Going back through my current one could take a year, lol.

[@worlwr2]

This is why you have to learn, know, bind every single hotkey not only for the mods but also the vanilla C:S UI to just speedrun it like an RTS in competitive multiplayer (e.g. Age of Empires IV) to shorten the time it takes to do a standard intersection in order to MARK MORE INTERSECTIONS.

[@InquisitorHades]

but it does look really good when done right tho ;$

It’s beautiful!

More like ADHD, paranoia, perfectionism and throwing shit across the room.

[@elguapo42000]

I’ve never used this mod, but now I feel like I have to. Intersections look soooo much better after using this mod. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@YUMBL]

Have fun! :)

[@Dennie835]

I remember how we used to do all this stuff manually with decals. Was plenty fun but really frustrating after like 5-10 junctions done.

[@jaimeg7241]

Biffa uses UnifiedUI which collects a couple of different mods UI Buttons into one single button (Node Controller, Intersection Marking Tool and - i believe - Pedestrian Bridge Builder or Roundabout Builder)

[@YUMBL]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ayou2470]

This mod has always been a mystery to me. I have had it in my mods list for months and didn't know how use it. Thank you for making mistakes and showing how to make it right. I appreciate it.

[@YUMBL]

Glad to help!

[@SoundlessMusic]

I literally found you the other day and you instantly became my no.1 in regards to Cities tutorials. Great stuff, hoping for more of these. Those small bits and pieces make up for a huge difference in visuals :)

[@YUMBL]

Thanks a lot :)

[@mjribes]

Dude!!! With my OCD I'm now going to spend my life redrawing intersection markings. Such nerdy bliss

[@jensiepensie9453]

Good video man, clear instructions not to munch information just the right amount to get started and straight to the point. On 24:40 you can click mirror so your copied section gets a 180° flip👌 keep up the good work💪

[@YUMBL]

Thank you very much! :)

[@leomorris1773]

Props to those mod makers. The math for all those lines, especially the intersections and fillers, is not exactly simple, especially to have it all be dynamic. Super impressive work.

[@liesdamnlies3372]

Splines. Gods bless splines.

[@automation7295]

Intersection Marking should've been in the vanilla game.

[@TheSneakyone18]

This mod is amazing for realism detailing. Exactly what a lot of people look for. Thank you for the showcase! Also, i'm not sure why, but as soon as you placed the chevron at 23:37 I got super excited and giggled like a schoolgirl from glee and satisfaction lol

[@ian22222]

I came into this thinking I already knew everything about Intersection Marking Tool, just hoping for some handy YUMBL tips. Then I had a lightbulb moment on the offramp example when you mentioned that creating a line makes the filler follow that line instead of cut across. It had never occurred to me that that was what caused my major annoyance with IMT. Thank you so much!

[@YUMBL]

I’m glad this helped! :)

[@miche13curry]

To make it invisible, you can also just delete the rules from a line. The line will stay (for the rest to use as reference) but the markings will disappear. :)

[@YUMBL]

Great tip, thank you!

[@computergamernl]

it pained me physically to do it the way he did it

[@attilatiti9542]

Remember when we had to place individual decals

[@YUMBL]

Hell is real, and it looks like a thousand little lines. Oh, and you want to change that intersection? Glhf 😂

[@marlopainter8246]

Brilliant! I noticed how you answered questions in the video as they were popping into my head. :D THose highway ramp areas look really good after some marking care.

[@YUMBL]

I’m glad you liked it! I intentionally did the intersection on the fly so I wouldn’t miss any talking points. Always a teeny bit of trial and error.

[@Kibbelingg]

Such a good looking and well programmed mod. Also, you have great teacher qualities. Thanks a lot!

[@YUMBL]

Thank you very much! :)

[@kiandodd5670]

i use this mod alot but never understood how to create fillers in the middle of roads like that. now i know. thank you Mr Yumbl Sir

[@SwashBuccaneer]

Thanks for the tutorials on the mods, have been binging them this morning and subbed. Newer to a modded Cities Skylines and there's plenty of stuff out there on what are the best mods but not too much on how to use them.

[@YUMBL]

I’m glad to help! Let me know what you need help with. I probably have a video on it 😂

What a powerful tool. Not a single function that one can imagine is missing! Going to get it right now!

Finally got to see how a median is made without using the filler tool!! I never knew about using the rules this way. Thanks dude

I did not know you can change the start and end points of lines. Literally game-changer for beautiful junctions.

This is easily the best tutorial on this mode! Thanks a lot!

[@patrickmursch9185]

i just got back to the game and managing all the traffic alone is very captivating... but seeing this and some other videos of you, i already know im gonna spend more time on a single street crossing or intersection than on a full game which come out nowadays... 🤣 your videos are just great!👌

[@sjguy1962]

Yumbl, I have to say your videos are truly interesting and detailed really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work liked and subscribed!

[@MugiwaraRuffy]

Will gladly study this, when I build my new PC and re-installed the game. Planning to use this for my next city.

[@nalo1728]

learned just today this exist lmao . i always manually place whitelines + propline tool . this is a less time consuming . thank you

[@smokypants]

This is great, thanks. Regarding your working without notes, it's actually much more relatable for me. Watching people do things quickly and perfectly in a tutorial makes them go by too fast, and it makes our early attempts to learn the content seem pitifully far from the artificial perfection seen in a error-free, fast, planned out tutorial. Also teaches out how troubleshoot when we see the presenter troubleshoot on the fly.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! :)

[@eXcalibre_]

Been using this mod for a couple of months now and I never knew that you can do fillers! No more manually placing lines to hatch off areas using PLT! Horay!

[@YUMBL]

I’m glad the video helped! Get node controller too for some real control over your intersections. Thanks for watching!

Tip:when u paste the preset and it doesn't match u should try rotating AND inverting it will always work u don't need to copy from another intersection

Regarding 8:10, there is a more refined/controlled way to adjust points, you can hover your cursor over the text entry field in the UI and scroll your mouse wheel (holding CTRL for fine adjustment)

Right? Same thing here. I never went the extra mile on details because of that

I dunno if anyone commented about it, but the copy and paste at the end worked, you just needed to invert the direction

😮 amazing video

[@VinceP1974]

I've created so many Presets for every possible lane configuration. One thing i do to help me with rotation is to always color my most left hand lane with a solid yellow line.

[@ktykatgirllaurels2128]

Fantastic, I tried marking tool to detail freeway exits and it looks terrific. So strange its hidden by having to go into transportation to find it.

[@YUMBL]

I think its hidden in transit roads because I have “crossings” and “zoning toggle” in the space it would normally occupy. Amazing mod though!

[@Nobody-uy8jj]

You r just awesome nice guy, I love your contents

[@YUMBL]

Thank you :)

[@mattdeady6448]

Two things: in the US, the chevrons always point towards the point, including for merges: mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/services/publications/fhwaop02090/fwymarkings_lgview.htm More importantly, you may have discovered this since making this video, but the paste tool has an "invert" button, which would have allowed you to paste the offramp markings to the onramp markings. HUGE time saver! Hope that helps, and great video!

[@YUMBL]

Very interesting! I’m seeing conflicting information on the direction of the chevrons, but perhaps there are regional differences in each area’s DOT. Or i’m open to being wrong, but I need to be sure 😂. Thank you very much for watching! I’m learning all the time.

[@mattdeady6448]

@@YUMBL oh interesting. Sorry for being forward. I was worried about coming off as an asshole lol - I looked it up since you suggested to, and happened to notice this source was different.

[@YUMBL]

No worries at all! :)

[@Bendigo1]

@@mattdeady6448 different areas use different markings. I've seen chevrons in both directions, diagonal lines, even diamond patterns. I think it really depends on what pattern they feel makes more sense in that area.

[@YUMBL]

The diagonal likes are usually when lanes are passing each other. My understanding is cars go toward where the line is pointing on their side. Like pushing open the swinging door to a saloon :)

[@adambennett805]

The copy paste for the highway part was fine, you just had to mirror it I think

[@ToppledTurtle834]

To make the highway intersection even nicer you can offset the highway 2 meters causing the slip road to line up nicer, I decently spend too much hours painting my road with this thing

[@YUMBL]

I do that all the time now. Current node controller with the auto shift tool wasnt out yet

[@tyelerhiggins300]

I actually learned the pronunciation of "quay" from a gta game. I can't remember if it was III or Vice City, but there was an area in the game called Atlantic Quays, and I always heard Atlantic _Keys_ until I looked at a game map and saw how it was spelled.

[@HairySack98]

Is there an updated guide? I can't do any of the complex things like clipping the line segments so that the markings don't overlap with crosswalks for example. I think the latest version works significantly different and the dev of course provides no guides themselves.

[@kriscarlosolis8019]

Why is this version of node controller causing an issue with the harmony dependency mod?

[@mikecranston1900]

I have been using this mod for a little while now, but am struggling with one thing. I have been matching colors like you did in the video with the bike lane filler. Do you know of any mod or something that has a color picker (eyedropper tool) that you can click on something and get the exact numbers to match a color? I have been searching but can not find such a tool.

[@YUMBL]

You could take a screenshot and use any number of online pickers or ms paint. I prefer to just eyeball it though as even a pucker wont work well.

[@JediTev]

I knew there was more to this tool. Is there a way to add one of those colored dots? I've done 5L highway into two 3L highway roads and I want to add a little pointed line to split the middle lane. I use the USRP Interstate highways mod for my freeways and highways.
