# Quick tip : Parking lots

You can create parametric parking lots using Curve Hosts.

Right-click on the cars group, then “Edit Skatter group”

The important steps:

* Make sure the axes of the car component are on the middle bottom of the car
* Create a line that goes through the middle of the spots. You may need to divide the line in at least 3, to group it. There is a small bug in Skatter that tend to make a loop if only two lines are connected. Check the groups containing the lines to see what I mean.
* Use Grid distribution, with the width of a parking spot as the Spacing X
* Then add some random rotation for a little bit of diversity

You can of course use as many different car components as you want.
