1. What are the roads made of-- MDL?
Yes, they made of MDL.
Quote:
2. Will the height adjustment part of the tool automatically lift/grade a terrain to match the road?
Yes, this is also planned
Quote:
3. If the road is polymesh/MDL geometry, is it be "baked" into a solid piece of geometry which sits on top of the terrain, so that it could be later used by the ABT scene manager or vent's awesome MDL shadow mapper, or is it dynamically regenerated with each level load?
In the editor itself it is dynamically gerenerated with each level load because of editing it after level reload. If you use the "export-function" there will be generated a solid mesh that you can load in MED oder so something else with it.

oliver, will icex 2.0 work with a7? or will it be abandoned and only support a6.3?
I can't say anything about IceX 2 and A7 at the moment.
Here is a new screen with height-adjustment:

No sorry, streets are mostly used in outdoor levels and blocks are really slow there. It doesn't make much sense to convert the street into blocks.

you can use models with newton. You just have to use invisible blocks with a mass of 0 [zero so they don't move]...

@oliver2s: That last image you posted should sell it nicely. I know from first hand experience that creating something like that in WED is a pain. I had a pretty big exterior once with a winding road around a lake (yes, I do tackle the occasional countryside exterior  ). The level has been abandoned, however maybe I can finish it with this tool.
