3 Assigning a style to a group.
If you apply a style like the cased streets to a selection
of paths, the outline of a path will overlap and interrupt the outlines of paths below
it. If you apply a style to a group of paths instead, the style will surround the group,
merging strokes where they overlap. To do this, select the paths you wish to merge,
then select and Group (
-G/Ctrl-G). Now make sure that Group is highlighted in
the Appearance panel and apply your new cased streets style.
