Scale-based symbol sizing is only available in 2D maps. At a larger scale (1:4,000), the width of the streets is too narrow in relation to the buildings (left), unless variable sizing is applied (right). At a relatively small scale (1:12,000), the width of the streets is appropriately sized in relation to the buildings. At smaller scales, streets should be narrow enough to not interfere with other more important features, yet still give an indication of urban density.
This will apply a Photoshop-style adjustment to the layer after it has been manipulated. By far the easiest way to do this is to use the Layer > Layer Styles >Stroke item in the menu. If they are too narrow, they look unnatural relative to the buildings and other nearby features and will not adequately represent the landscape. The way to maintain the weight of the stoke on layers is to apply it after any scale. At larger scales, streets should be appropriately wide as they run between buildings. You want to maintain a symbol size appropriate for the feature density at each scale without introducing noticeable increases in size.Īn example is adjusting the size of the symbol used to draw streets. Typically, these differences in symbol size are subtle across the visible scale range. The size of symbols can be adjusted dynamically across their visible scale range to reduce visual density at smaller scales while retaining an appropriate relative size at larger scales.
