2 Creating a style for your street paths.
To create “cased” or outlined streets, make a
multi-stroke style that you can apply to all streets. Gordon started by deselecting all
objects and clicking the Clear Appearance icon to eliminate the attributes for the
river he had created previously. To build cased streets like Gordon's, click the
Stroke attribute and choose a light color swatch and a 2-pt width. Next, add a sec-
ond stroke by clicking the Add New Stroke icon in the Appearance panel. Because
the new stroke has the same attributes as the first stroke, select the bottom of the
two strokes and change it to a darker color and a 3-pt width. In order to reuse this
set of appearance attributes, open the Graphic Styles panel and Option-click/Alt-
click the New Graphic Style icon at the bottom of the panel and then name your
new style.
