Need a crowned road for water runoff? Or a “V” profile for depressed drainage channels? The Pro version supports flat, crown, and V-shaped road profiles—giving you control over road surface geometry that the free version simply doesn’t offer.
Plugins may offer free, trial, and paid/pro versions. “Exclusive” builds sometimes refer to: sketchup+instant+road+plugin+download+exclusive
