Sully made a Youtube video about custom car parks (aka Parking Lots) and this functionality helped make that safe.

Remove Sub-Elements Tool Mode

Removes props, trees, decals, fences, hedges, sub-buildings, extensions, and networks from assets. This tool can break connectivity within assets. Some elements are more safe to remove such as: props, trees, decals, fences, hedges, and sub-buildings. Some elements are less safe to remove such as: networks and extensions. You can prohibit removing those in the settings.

Terminology:

• Sub-Elements is an umbrella term that includes all props, trees, decals, fences, hedges, sub-buildings, extensions, and networks that are part of a building or network asset.
• Sub-buildings are separate buildings attached to the service building’s existing lot.
• Extensions are visible upgrades connected directly to the main building.
• 'Permanently Removes' means that anytime the object would regenerate it will be automatically removed shortly afterwards.

Selection Modes:

• Single Item - similar but more powerful than DevUI: Simulation -> Debug Toggle + UIBindings -> ActionsSection -> Delete. Props, trees, decals, fences, and hedges can/will regenerate later. Sub-buildings, some extensions, and networks do not regenerate.
• Exact Match - Selects all exact matches of that sub-element. (i.e. All oak trees in this park). Networks are not supported. 'Permanently Removes' props, trees, decals, fences, hedges.
• Similar Category - Selects all sub-elements in a similar category within the building, subbuilding, extension or network and 'permanently removes' them. Categories include: trees, plants, street lights, trash bins, branding objects and advertisements, activity locations, and all hedges and fences. (i.e. all trees in this asset).
• Reset Asset - Reset assets by selecting ones that have any sub-elements 'permanently removed' using Exact Match or Similar Category.

Safely Remove Button

There is a safely remove button in the options menu. It is only recommeneded if you have been using Exact Match and Similar Category to remove sub-elements. Pressing this button and confirming it will reset all assets that have had sub-elements 'permanently removed'.

Invisible Paths and Markers

Drawing invisible paths and markers is an unsupported feature of the game. You need DevUI to access the 'Add Object' menu via the home button to draw invisible paths and markers, unless another mod makes this more convenient.

With the Bulldoze tool you can select an icon and filters to show and EXCLUSIVELY demolish invisible networks or invisible parking decals, various spots, points, and spawners, BUT SAVE BEFORE HAND!

One configuration I built/demolished resulted in a crash to desktop because I left a segment that was too short. Deleting them in a different order worked.

Support

I will respond on the code modding channels on Cities: Skylines Modding Discord
