I think I understand what mightygoose means.     I think SG's irrigation canals have a corner like this.    (For that matter they have one like I was looking for as well.   )      I'll try to look for an image of it a bit later and post it here if we still need it.


Aside...
   I was playing around today and realized that NO ONE has made a canal "bridge" piece for GLR.     Right now there is only the "drawbridge" that doesn't operate.  It just has the illusion of the water flowing under a very low bridge.     Maybe when the new draggable GLR comes out, someone can make some canal bridges (like the draw bridges for roads that look like they are operating.), since there will have to be all sorts of new puzzle pieces made then.

aww man my spaces didnt align

[jeronij]

I hope I got the idea...

First the projected underbridge pieces (2x and 3x)





And the standard end piece (it can also be used as bridge piece)



And finally the two suggested pieces:

Gaston`s suggestion



and mightygoose's suggestion



This one will require a mirror piece 

Going for the diagonals now...

I think he's got it.   LOL   Now for the draw bridges, and the same pieces for the variable width canals.

I like the bridge for avenues . With the other ones ,  I dislike to see pillars in water in that case of a thin canal .

Great realisations of Gaston and mightygoose 's suggestions .Totally unique for a canal set .

Take care about the complexity of this canal set or you'll soon have requests for a tutorial ... ... I'll be the first ...  ... joke ...

[barnatom]

Wow! Great work. I am really excited about all the new possibilities this canal set is opening up.

Now we only need elevated NAM puzzle pieces without supports. It looks really strange to have the support collums in the middle of these narrow canals

Something I did with SG's canals once was use a "Highway over Avenue" puzzle piece.  (I think that is what it was anyway  ) I plopped it on the canal piece and had an instant canal overpass.   The water in the canal hid the avenue.    I never really watched it much to see what happened.    I have since abandoned that city.   That might be a place to start to find an "overpass" puzzle piece.    Just a suggestion.

that would be a nice addition to your canal set!

[Antoine]

It's an excellent job jeronij 

[jayo]

Nice job jeronij

Hi Jeronij 
I am decrease the chance to speak with you recently, and a little lonely Mas'71.

BTW,
Wow!! Good!! Good narrow canal PP!!
I am (we are JPN) looking forward to completion of your new works of "JRJ Urban Canals" very much. 
Please complete it without panicking in a hurry.(LOL) 

[mightygoose]

i think it would be cool with diagonals... (god me with my tunnel entrances again ) if you had two tunnel mouth pieces.. for diagonal.... a  piece that straightend up to orthoganal and went into a tunnel... and a piece that the tunnel wall was perpendicular to the canal. this could come as an overhanging prop which means you could do diagonal road over canal with no odd gaps....

[jeronij]

MAS71 san, always nice to see you 

mightygoose, do you mean something like the diagonal end pieces I made for my Seawalls V4 (marrast's type) ?¿ ( addapted of course to these models)

[mightygoose]

for the diagonal set have short turn orthogonal endpeice and a diagonal endpiece

[Snaper]

Waaa it's wonderful 

Felicitacion 

[rooker1]

Wow.......super work on the canal pieces.  A great addition indeed.

Sweet, this looks like it'll be another great release from a master. Love them as always. I'm still yet to use the other pieces... But I'm sure I'll find somewhere for them to go in time

[Fred_Ginger]

Jeronij, those narrow canals are super!   Is there a chance that you can make a connector from the large canals to the narrow like this   >----, that is one piece that goes from a 2-wide to 1-wide?   (What can I say, I like symmetry!)

[Gaston]

Vicki,
    I'm no expert but, I think it would be very difficult to go from a 2 wide tile to the center of a one wide tile.   The only way would be to offset the canal on the single tile, I think.    Going from a three wide canal to a single wide would be very easy to maintain symmetry.     I agree I like symmetry as well.     It is a deffinate challange to switch canal types (wide [two tile] sets to narrow [one tile] sets, or even the irrigation canals) because so far noone has created any bridges that are wider than 2 tiles or transition pieces for the end of a canal.    I would love to see a 3 tile bridge.

I went to go make a setup with 1x1 Jeronij canals but what did i find, they weren't out yet I can see why after looking at this thread, I'll be sure to use em
