Roads User Manual

MunsysQ 10.2 for QGIS 4

Road network capture and maintenance in QGIS | Open Spatial Pty Ltd | October 2026

Chapter 1Introducing the MunsysQ Roads User Manual

MunsysQ Roads is used to capture and maintain road centre lines, intersection markers, road areas, road edges and walkways in QGIS. It does not require GIS expertise: the Roads menus guide you through each function, and the road business rules are applied as you work.

MunsysQ Roads is one of the MunsysQ applications, alongside MunsysQ Cadastral, Drainage, Sewer and Water. All of them work on the same Munsys database as Munsys on AutoCAD.

About this manual

This manual describes the functions of MunsysQ Roads: how a road network is constructed from the cadastre, given its names and attributes, checked, posted to the database and maintained. It assumes that you are familiar with:

the road business rules of your organisation
the MunsysQ panel, QAD command line and edit cycle, as described in the MunsysQ Concepts User Manual
common GIS terminology.

Chapter 2Getting acquainted with MunsysQ Roads

About MunsysQ Roads

MunsysQ Roads is used to capture and maintain the road network. Road centre lines and intersection markers are constructed relative to the cadastral boundaries, and descriptive information such as the road name, route number, classification, jurisdiction and surface type is attached to them from lookup lists, so that the values are consistent.

Road areas, road edges and walkways can be offset from the cadastral boundaries, which makes them quick to capture. The road business rules are built into the functions, so that the data is maintained to engineering standards before it is posted to the database.

About road objects

Road centre lines

Road centre lines run along the middle of the road reserves. They are usually built from construction lines: single lines captured in the road reserves, cleaned up, and then generated into centre lines. Attributes such as road name, classification, route number, jurisdiction and surface type are attached to the centre lines. The traffic direction of a centre line is stored relative to the direction in which it was captured.

Intersection markers

Intersection markers are placed where centre lines meet or change. Together with the centre lines they make up the road network.

Marker	Meaning
Normal	Two or more road segments meet. Traffic is controlled by warning signs and road markings.
Freeway	A freeway meets a road or another freeway. Traffic flows freely and is controlled by lanes joining or separating.
Traffic Light	Traffic is controlled by traffic lights.
Dead End	The road ends here and does not continue in any direction.
Node	One part of the road ends and another continues, for example where the street name or surface type changes.

Road areas, road edges and walkways

Road areas are polygons covering the road surface. Road edges are kerbs, which can be mountable, semi-mountable or non-mountable. Walkways are tarred or paved pedestrian paths. These objects are not part of the road network: the network integrity check does not include them, although the object integrity check does.

Loading MunsysQ Roads

Before you start, QGIS must be connected to the Munsys data and the MunsysQ panel must show its menus. Connecting is described in Chapter 3 of the MunsysQ Concepts User Manual.

Open the QGIS project that contains the road layers.
On the MunsysQ panel, select Roads (RMS) in the Module list. The Roads menus are displayed in the menu tree.

Note Roads appears in the list only if your organisation has licensed it and your account has been given access to it.

The MunsysQ Roads menus

The Roads functions are grouped in three menus. The Object and Tools menus below them are shared by all applications and are described in the Concepts User Manual.

The Roads Capture menu on the MunsysQ panel — **Figure 2** The Roads Capture menu.

Menu	Contains
Capture	Road settings; construction lines; road centre lines and the road name and route number lists; centre line and traffic direction; intersection markers; road areas, edges and walkways; attaching road names and route numbers; road notes; data integrity; posting to the database.
Change	Editing attributes; changing road object geometry and vertices; moving intersection markers; changing centre line, edge and intersection attributes; notes and comments; deleting, undeleting and restoring objects.
Extras	Converting blocks, lines, text and polygons to road objects.

Munsys on AutoCAD offers many of these functions on toolbars as well. In MunsysQ every function is in the menu tree.

The road layers

Each type of road object is stored in its own spatial table and shown in QGIS as its own layer. A MunsysQ project normally holds them in a Roads group in the Layers panel.

Layer	Spatial table	Geometry	Contains
Road Centre Lines	`SP_RDCL`	Line	Road centre lines.
Road Intersections	`SP_RDINT`	Point	Intersection markers.
Road Areas	`SP_RDAREA`	Polygon	Road areas.
Road Edges	`SP_RDEDGE`	Line	Road edges (kerbs).
Road Walkways	`SP_RDWALK`	Line	Walkways.
Road Notes	`SP_RDNOTE`	Point	Road notes.

Construction lines are not in the database. They are drawn on a temporary layer, MunsysQ RMS Construction Lines, which MunsysQ creates when you first use a construction line function.

MunsysQ finds the layer that a function needs by its spatial table, so you can rename the layers or move them to other groups.

Chapter 3Road data in the project

In Munsys on AutoCAD, road data is brought into the drawing with the Query menu: all road objects, centre lines or intersection markers by area or by road name, or road areas, edges, walkways and notes. In MunsysQ there is no query step. The road layers are connected to the database while the project is open, and QGIS reads the objects for the area that you are looking at.

The road network

The network is made up of the Road Centre Lines and Road Intersections layers. Keep both switched on while you capture or change the network, so that every function can find the objects that it connects to.

Finding roads by name

To work on one road, for example all the centre lines of a street, filter or select the Road Centre Lines layer on its road name columns. Filtering layers is covered in a separate chapter.

Tip Before you capture, make sure that the cadastral layers and the existing road layers are visible in the area where you work. Road objects are constructed from the parcel boundaries, and seeing the existing network prevents duplicate objects.

Chapter 4Creating road data

Capturing road data

A road network is normally captured in this order:

Construction lines in the road reserves, cleaned up so that they meet at the intersections.
Road centre lines, generated from the construction lines or drawn directly. Centre lines are broken where they meet other centre lines.
Direction and names: check the centre line and traffic direction, and attach the road names and route numbers.
Intersection markers where the centre lines meet, end or change.
Road areas, road edges and walkways at any time, because they do not affect the network.

When the network is complete, check its integrity and post it to the database.

Road capture settings

The Road settings are the defaults that the capture and integrity functions use. Default values are set by the GIS administrator; you can change many of them for your current session to speed up capture.

**Figure 3** The Road Settings dialog box. Settings that only the administrator may change are greyed out.

Group	Settings
Road Center Line	Classification, Jurisdiction, Segment Owner, Segment Type, Surface Type and Traffic Direction for new centre lines; Offset Distance for offset centre lines.
Road Edge, Road Walkway	Offset Distance for offset road edges and walkways.
Intersection Marker	Intersection Marker Symbol Scale.
Intersection Drawing	Insertion Scale and Traffic Symbol Scale.
Note	Road Note Height.
Integrity	Road Center Line Tolerance, Road Intersection Marker Tolerance, Road Search Tolerance and Short Objects.

To specify road capture settings

Choose Capture > Road Settings.... The Road Settings dialog box shows the current session settings.
Select a setting to see its description in the box below the list.
To change a value, click it, and then type a new value or choose one from the list.
Click OK.

The new values apply to objects that you capture from now on, until you change them again or close QGIS. They do not change objects that already exist.

Tip Set the centre line classification, type and surface to the values that you will use most often. Only the centre lines that differ then need to be changed afterwards.

Capturing construction lines

Construction lines are single lines in the road reserves from which the road centre lines are generated. They are drawn on the temporary layer MunsysQ RMS Construction Lines. They are never posted: only the centre lines generated from them are.

Construction lines can be constructed in the middle of a road reserve, drawn freehand, or drawn at an offset from a boundary. They are then cleaned up with the construction line editing functions so that they meet exactly at the intersections.

To construct a construction line

Constructs a line along the middle of a road reserve, from the boundaries on either side.

Choose Capture > Construction Line > Construct.
At Specify approximate start point: and Specify approximate end point:, indicate where the line runs.
At Select first segment for offset:, select the boundary on one side of the road reserve. Parcel boundaries can be selected as well as lines.
At Select second segment for offset:, select the boundary on the opposite side.

The construction line is placed halfway between the two segments, from the start point to the end point.

To draw a freehand construction line

Choose Capture > Construction Line > Draw Freehand.
Specify the first point, then the next points, and press Enter.

To draw an offset construction line

Choose Capture > Construction Line > Draw Offset.
Specify a start point and an end point within the road reserve.
At Specify point on side to offset:, click on the side for the line.
At Specify offset distance <1>:, type the distance or press Enter.

Cleaning up construction lines

Function	What it does
Capture > Construction Line > Break	Breaks a construction line at a point that you specify.
Capture > Construction Line > Change	Moves the endpoint of a construction line to a new location.
Capture > Construction Line > Extend	Extends a construction line to a boundary object: select the boundary first, then the line.
Capture > Construction Line > Fillet	Joins two construction lines at their intersection.
Capture > Construction Line > Extend and Break	At `Select line to break:` select the line to be broken, at `Select line to extend:` the line to extend, and at `Specify point closest to break point:` the break. The second line is extended to the first, which is broken at the intersection.
Capture > Construction Line > Trim	Trims a construction line to a cutting edge: select the cutting edge first, then the side to remove.

Tip Each of these functions is one step in , so you can try a change and undo it if the result is not what you want.

Constructing road centre lines

To generate road centre lines from construction lines

Joins selected construction lines into one road centre line. The centre line receives the default attributes from the Road settings, and the construction lines that were used are removed from the construction layer, all in one step that can be undone.

Choose Capture > Road CL > Generate Road CL.
At Select lines for road center line:, select the construction lines that make up the centre line and press Enter.
Check the highlighted lines, and answer Done selecting Lines [Yes/No] <Yes>: with Enter to generate the centre line, or N to change the selection.

To draw a freehand road centre line

Use this for centre lines that do not follow a parcel boundary.

Choose Capture > Road CL > Draw Freehand Road CL.
Specify the points of the centre line by clicking on the map or typing coordinates, and press Enter.

To draw an offset road centre line

Choose Capture > Road CL > Draw Offset Road CL.
At Specify first point or [Offset segment]:, either pick the points along a boundary and press Enter, or type O to pick boundary segments instead.
At Specify point on side to offset:, click on the side for the centre line.
Enter the offset distance, or press Enter for the Road Center Line Offset Distance. When picking segments, enter a factor at Multiply offset by <1>: and finish with Done selecting offset segments [Yes/No] <Yes>:.

Centre line and traffic direction

The direction of a centre line is the order in which its points were captured. Its traffic direction is stored relative to that direction: forward, reverse or bidirectional. Check both when the centre lines are complete; the traffic direction is important for route analysis.

Showing and changing centre line direction

Function	What it does
Capture > Show Road CL Direction	Shows an arrow on each selected centre line in its captured direction.
Capture > Change Road CL Direction	Reverses the direction of the selected centre lines. A changed existing centre line becomes a pending edit.

Showing and changing traffic direction

Function	What it does
Capture > Show Traffic Direction	Shows the stored traffic direction of each selected centre line: forward, reverse or both ways.
Capture > Change Traffic Direction	Select the centre lines, then answer `Specify direction [Bidirectional/Reverse/Forward] <Bidirectional>:` by typing the first letter of the option, or press `Enter` for the default.
Capture > Clear Direction Arrows	Removes the centre line and traffic direction arrows from the map.

Note Changing the traffic direction changes only the stored traffic direction. The centre line itself is not reversed.

Road names and route numbers

Road names and route numbers are attached to centre lines from lists, which prevents misspelt names and wrong numbers. The road names are shared with the street names of the Cadastral application.

Adding road names and route numbers to the lists

Choose Capture > Road CL > Add New Road Name to List... or Add New Route Number to List....
Enter the new code and name, and click OK. The new entry is available immediately.

To attach a road name to centre lines

Choose Capture > Attach Road Name....
At Select road cl(s)..., select the centre lines and press Enter. The road name list is displayed.
Select the road name, searching by code or name if needed, and click OK.

To attach a route number to centre lines

Choose Capture > Attach Route Number....
Select the centre lines and press Enter.
Select the route number from the list and click OK.

Placing intersection markers

A new intersection marker takes the road name of the centre line that you place it on as its first road name.

Placing endpoint intersection markers

Choose Capture > Place Endpoint Int Marker and the marker type: Freeway, Traffic Light, Normal, Dead End or Node.
Select the centre line close to the end where the marker must go.

Inserting nearest intersection markers

Inserts a marker at a point along a centre line and breaks the centre line there. Freeway, Traffic Light, Normal and Node markers can be inserted.

Choose Capture > Insert Nearest Int Marker and the marker type.
Select the point on the centre line where the marker must go.

Note When a centre line is broken, the original keeps its identity and is shortened. The new part is created as a new centre line with its own GID; its other attributes are copied from the original, and the original is recorded as its lineage parent.

Capturing road areas

Choose Capture > Road Area > Draw Road Area Polygon.
Specify the corners of the road area, usually along the cadastral boundaries, and press Enter. The polygon is closed back to the first point.

Note In Munsys on AutoCAD a road area can also be drawn as a boundary and then generated into a polygon. In MunsysQ the polygon function creates the road area directly.

Capturing road edges

Road edges are the kerbs of the road. Their type, mountable, semi-mountable or non-mountable, is set with Change > Change Road Edge Attribute > Road Edge Type....

Capture > Road Edge > Draw Offset Road Edge: the prompts are the same as for offset centre lines, with the Road Edge Offset Distance.
Capture > Road Edge > Draw Freehand Road Edge: pick the points of the edge and press Enter.

Capturing walkways

Walkways are tarred or paved pedestrian paths.

Capture > Road Walkway > Draw Offset Walkway: the prompts are the same as for offset centre lines, with the Road Walkway Offset Distance.
Capture > Road Walkway > Draw Freehand Walkway: pick the points of the walkway and press Enter.

Placing road notes

Choose Capture > Place Road Note.
Specify the insertion point of the note.
Enter the note height, or press Enter for the Road Note Height setting.
Specify the angle: type it, pick it on the map, or type A to align the note to a segment.
At Enter note value:, type the text of the note and press Enter.

Checking road integrity

The integrity check validates new and changed objects against the road business rules before they are posted. The rules are held in the database and are applied by the Munsys REST service, so they are the same as in Munsys on AutoCAD.

Object integrity checks each object on its own, including road areas, edges and walkways.
Network integrity checks how the centre lines and intersection markers fit together. Road edges and walkways are not part of the network and are not included.

Object check	Description
Short objects	Objects shorter than the Short Objects setting.
Duplicate points	Redundant points within the snap tolerance, which are removed.
Incomplete geometry	Objects without a valid geometry.
Outside database extents	Objects outside the geographic extents of the database.
Attribute rules	The attribute rules defined for the table, for example values that may not be empty.
Attribute data types	Values that do not fit the column, for example a tag longer than the `TAG_VALUE` column.

Network check	Description
Centre lines within snap tolerance	Centre line ends that are not exactly on another centre line end but within the Road Center Line Tolerance.
Intersections within snap tolerance	Intersection markers that are not exactly on a centre line end but within the Road Intersection Marker Tolerance.
Intersections with too many or too few centre lines	Markers connected to more, or fewer, centre lines than the rules allow.
Duplicate intersections	Two markers on top of each other within the tolerance.
Centre lines without intersections	Centre lines without a marker at each end.
Isolated intersections	Markers not connected to any centre line.

To check road object integrity

Select the road objects to check on the map. If nothing is selected, all road objects with pending edits are checked.
Choose Capture > Data Integrity > Validate Object Integrity....
The MunsysQ Integrity message reports how many objects were checked and failed, how many issues were found, and how many integrity markers were written.

To check road network integrity

Select the part of the network to check, or select nothing to check the objects with pending edits.
Choose Capture > Data Integrity > Validate Network Integrity....
Read the result in the MunsysQ Integrity message.

Browsing integrity markers

Each problem is marked on the map by a point in the Integrity Errors layer. Capture > Data Integrity > Browse Integrity Markers... zooms to the markers and opens their attribute table, which lists for each marker the rule, the error code and message, the layer and object affected, and a description. Select a row and use Zoom map to the selected rows to go to it.

Erasing integrity markers

Capture > Data Integrity > Erase Integrity Markers asks for confirmation and then removes all the markers. Markers are never posted.

Posting road data to the database

Choose Capture > Post to Database.... The Post to Database dialog box lists each road layer with pending edits and the number of objects to be inserted, updated and deleted.
Check the totals and click Post.
The Post to Database Results dialog box shows what was posted, with a status and a message for each layer. Click Close.

After posting, the edit highlight is cleared, your locks on the posted objects are released, and the changes are visible to all users. Construction lines are never posted. Posting is described in full in the Concepts User Manual.

Note Posting cannot be undone. This keeps your project and the database in step and prevents duplicate objects.

Chapter 5Maintaining road data

Once centre lines, edges and walkways have been placed, they must be joined correctly. The Change menu provides the functions for this, and for changing attributes such as road name, route number and jurisdiction.

When you change an existing object it is locked for you, and the change is a pending edit. Changed objects must pass the integrity check before they are posted.

Changing road objects

These functions work on road centre lines, road edges and walkways.

To extend a road object to a boundary

Choose Change > Extend Road Object to Boundary.
Select the boundary object that the road object must extend to.
Select the road object near the end that must be extended.

To extend a road object by distance

A negative distance shortens the object.

Choose Change > Extend Road Object by Distance.
Select the object near the end to extend.
At Enter distance:, type the distance and press Enter.

To extend a road object and break another at the intersection

Choose Change > Extend and Break Road Object.
Select the object to be broken, then the object to extend.

To break a road object

Choose Change > Break Road Object.
Select the point on the object where it must be broken.

To change a road object

Choose Change > Change Road Object.
Select the object near the endpoint to move, then specify the new location of the endpoint.

To fillet road objects

Choose Change > Fillet Road Object.
Select the first object, then the second. They are connected at their projected intersection.

To trim a road object

Choose Change > Trim Road Object.
Select the cutting edge, then the part of the object that must be cut off.

To join road objects

Joins two centre lines, or two road edges, into one. The joined object keeps the attributes of the first object that you select; the second is marked for deletion. A gap between them is closed with a straight segment.

Choose Change > Join Road Object.
Select the first object, then the second close to the end that must be joined.

To change the vertices of a road object

Function	Steps
Change > Change Road Object Vertex > Add	Select the object, then the end to extend, then the position of the new vertex.
Change > Change Road Object Vertex > Move	Select the object, then `Specify point closest to vertex to move:` and `Specify point to move vertex to:`.
Change > Change Road Object Vertex > Remove	Select the object, then the vertex to remove. A vertex can be removed only from an object with more than two vertices.
Change > Change Road Object Vertex > Insert	Select the object, then at `Select segment for inserted point:` the segment, and at `Specify position for new point:` the new vertex.

Moving an intersection marker

Choose Change > Move Int Marker.
Select the marker, then specify its new insertion point.

Changing road attribute data

Editing road object attributes

Change > Edit Attributes... shows the attributes of the selected road objects of one type, for example centre lines, in the columns Attribute, Value and Status. Attributes with a fixed list of values offer the list. Attributes that may not be changed are unavailable.

Choose Change > Edit Attributes....
Select the objects and press Enter. If they are of different types, choose the type to edit.
To give all the selected objects the same value, select Edit multiple objects simultaneously. To edit them one by one, clear it and use the arrow buttons to move between objects; select AutoZoom to object to have the map follow.
Change the values and click OK.

The changes are pending edits until they pass the integrity check and are posted. Mandatory attributes must be completed, or the object fails the object integrity check.

Editing linked table attributes

Some information about road objects is kept in linked, non-spatial tables. Change > Edit Linked Table Attributes... lets you step through the linked records of an object, change them, and insert or delete records, depending on your privileges. Linked table changes are written to the database directly, so you can only select objects that have already been posted.

Changing road centre line attributes

Each function asks you to select the centre lines at Select road cl(s)... and press Enter, and then for the new value. Values chosen from a list can be searched by code or description; when one centre line is selected, its current value is highlighted.

Function	New value
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Name...	From the road name list.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Route Number...	From the route number list.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Width...	Typed in the Road Width box.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Classification...	From the classification list.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Jurisdiction	Answer `Are selected segments under your jurisdiction? [Yes/No] <Yes>:`.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Owner...	From the owner list.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Type...	From the road type list.
Change > Change Road CL Attribute > Road Surface Type...	From the surface type list.

The Road Name and Route Number functions are also on the Capture menu as Attach Road Name... and Attach Route Number....

Resynchronising road names

When a road is renamed in the road name list, the centre lines and intersection markers that carry the old name must be updated. ReSync copies the current names from the list onto the selected objects.

Choose Change > Change Road CL Attribute > ReSync Road Names for centre lines, or Change > Change Road Int Attribute > ReSync Road Names for intersection markers.
Select the objects to update. The command line reports how many were updated.

Note Complete and post all road name changes before you resynchronise the names on the centre lines and markers.

Changing a road edge type

Choose Change > Change Road Edge Attribute > Road Edge Type....
At Select road edges..., select the edges and press Enter.
Select the edge type, mountable, semi-mountable or non-mountable, and click OK.

Changing road notes

Choose Change > Change Road Note....
Select the note. The Road Note box is displayed.
Change the text and click OK.

Adding comments

Choose Change > Add Comment....
Select the road objects. The Road Comment box is displayed.
Type the comment and click OK. It is stored in the COMMENTS column of each selected object.

Deleting and undeleting road objects

A deletion is a pending edit: the objects are removed from the database when you post.

To delete road objects

Choose Change > Delete Road Object.
Select the road objects and press Enter. Objects that are not road objects are left out of the selection.

The objects are marked for deletion and shown in the DELETED group at the top of the Layers panel until you post.

To undelete road objects

Choose Change > Undelete Road Object. The objects marked for deletion are shown.
Select the objects to keep. They are no longer marked for deletion, and any changes made to them before they were deleted are kept.

Restoring a deleted object

Change > Restore Deleted Object brings back an object whose deletion has already been posted, from the archive that the database keeps of deleted objects. See the Concepts User Manual.

Chapter 6Converting drawing entities to road objects

After a drawing has been brought into QGIS with Import CAD/DWG, or geometry has been drawn on a construction layer, the Extras functions convert it to road objects. The procedure for imports and the Object Conversion dialog box are described in the Concepts User Manual.

Some basic attributes are set during conversion. Complete the remaining attributes, such as road names, afterwards; then check integrity and post as for captured objects.

Converting blocks to intersection markers

Choose Extras > Convert Block to and the marker type: Freeway Int Marker, Traffic Light Int Marker, Normal Int Marker, Dead End Int Marker or Node Int Marker.
Select the block references and press Enter. One marker is created for each block.

Converting lines to road objects

Choose Extras > Convert Line to and Road CL, Road Walkway or Road Edge.
Select the lines and press Enter.

Converting text to road notes

Choose Extras > Convert Text to > Road Note.
Select the text and press Enter.

Converting polygons to road areas

Choose Extras > Convert Polygon to > Road Area.
Select the polygons and press Enter.
