Taxiway paths draw the same width even though they are not the same width

I'm trying to mimic this, where a taxiway's width suddenly changes:

When I create one segment and give it a width of 30 m and create another segment and give it a width of 20 m, both taxiways appear to have the same width. (They're obviously both the same material in real life, but I changed the left one to brick to illustrate that the SDK is aware that these are two different paths.)

Am I missing something? Just for kicks, I made the left one 10 m and still no change.


Left taxi path (the one in brick):

Right taxi path:

Hello @N316TS ,

When you have a 10m wide taxiway connected to a 30m wide one, since they are supposed to be connected, you won't have a strict delineation at a specific TaxiwayPoint but rather a progressive one.

You can achieve what you want by using an apron under your right TaxiwayPath like this :
