where you want the hinge point location to be computed from in situations requiring a fill or a cut respectively. (The
hinge point will occur at the node of the selected segment furthest from the centerline.) The hinge point can also be
defined at different segments for the left and right sides of the road.
Left / Right: is the specified left and right segment, respectively, to compute the hinge point from in a situation that
