    im trying to build a football field sized monster truck track, roughly 140 yards by 50, i used the road decal editor but 140 seems a little far. What is the unit if measurements for road editor? Or a good way to measure in the in game editor

    Meters.
    If you lay down a 'decalsroad', in the properties panel there is a 'debug' voice that shows a number. That's is that road lenght in meters.

    I made simple box objects of different size that I can drag around with node grabber, helps measuring a lot and not hard to do if one has skills.

    Update: I don't have skills, so it is not easy for me to make, but managed somehow.

    One big square on Gridmap is 1 meter. The smaller squares are 10 cm. In the coordinates, 1 unit is equal to 1 meter. So I'm guessing you'll need to make it 128m*46m.

    Edit: I've typed too slowly and am late to the party :(
