&lt;p&gt;This topic lists step-by-step information on how to add centroids and centroid connectors in CUBE Networks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 1: Open CUBE Highway Network (.net)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 2: Click on&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Layer Control&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and select &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;boundary&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;layer and add the underlying polygon (TAZ) shapefile as below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-46/pastedimage1658899928637v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All Done&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 3: Under &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Node&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/em&gt;Tab &amp;gt; Click on &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Automatic Add Centroid&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-46/pastedimage1658899972306v2.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 4: Select the TAZ attribute from the polygon file. This attribute adds the nodes (which are zones) in the network.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 5: To add connectors, click on &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Automatic Add Centroid Connectors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; option&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-46/pastedimage1658900060633v3.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 6: Review the options in the dialog box as below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-46/pastedimage1658900091641v4.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most common options in this dialog box:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Maximum Connectors &amp;gt; How many connector you want to create from a given zone&lt;br /&gt;- Maximum Distance &amp;gt; what is the maximum distance CUBE should look for a node to create the centroid connectors. The distance unit is based on scaling parameter/distance field which is available for reference in Network Options.&lt;br /&gt;- Any conditions when creating the centroid connectors. For example, if you do not want to create the centroid connectors directly to a Highway/Freeway, then enter FUNC_CLASS=1 (if functional class is 1 for highways/freeways). This will NOT create centroid connectors to any highways/freeways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-06-46/pastedimage1658900289900v5.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Step 7: When clicking &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, the number of centroid connectors created will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some Notes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- While Automated Centroids and Centroid Connectors is a good start, one must always review these generations manually as the highway skimming/assignment primarily depends on these connectors.&lt;br /&gt;-&amp;nbsp;When you first create centroid connectors using the Automatic Centroid Connectors option, you can always undo the creation by using Ctrl+Z and try again with new parameters.&lt;br /&gt;- It is a possibility that centroid connectors created automatically are not desired so you can manually change these connectors using the network editor.&lt;br /&gt;- Always make a backup of your network before you use the automatic centroid connectors option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
