Building CARLA Map Editor

Currently the editor is provided for Linux only. It will be available for Windows in the near future.

Use git clone or download the project from this page. Note that the master branch contains the latest fixes and features, for the latest stable code may be best to switch to the stable branch.

Ensure your linux environment is set up for CARLA. See here

Run Update.sh to download the assets to the Content folder.

Run make --package to build the Carla Editor distribution package and create the application.

Run make --launch to build the Carla Editor application and open it in the Unreal Editor.

Using the CARLA Map Editor

• Traffic lights, groups and speed signs can be placed in the map.

• The different assets available can be selected from the drop downs in the GUI.

• The create button will spawn an instance of an actor for the asset selected.

• A spawned actor can be selected by clicking on it in the world or by selecting it from the actor table.

• A traffic light actor must belong to a traffic group. Otherwise it will be ignored. A selected traffic light can be assigned a traffic group by selecting the group in the combo box.

• Speed signs and traffic lights also have box triggers for detecting nearby vehicles. The box extents and relative transforms can also be modified.

Controls:

• A,W,S,D keys navigate the camera.
• Camera is rotated by holding left or right mouse button while moving the mouse.
• The actor can be selected by clicking the left mouse button while the cursor is over the actor object or over its name in the actor table.
• The actor can be deselected by double-clicking the right mouse button.
• The GUI visibility can be toggled with the M key.
• The actor table visibility can be toggled with the T key.
• DELETE key deletes the selected actor.
• P key exits the application.
• The create button spawns actors.
• The export button exports the current data to the XODR file.

Importing/Exporting FBX and XODR:

• Create directories called Import and Export (case-sensitive) and place them in the CarlaEditor folder.
• Place FBX and XODR files in the Import directory. The files can have any name.
