Help creating Terrain

[GregB]

Can anyone point me to a decent tutorial on Terrain? I have SSA and was hoping the videos would be helpful but the only one on Terrain is VERY brief and simple. I suppose I could spend some money if I have to, but I'm currently choking over the expense of upgrading from HD Pro 2012 to Chief Premier w/SSA for what is basically my own hobby use on my own house at this point.

I think part of my problem is that I'm missing the way I need to think in order for Chief's terrain system to make sense. I work with a sophisticated terrain system from Agtek (think CAD/CAM for grading and excavating) and I suppose I keep expecting functions to be similar.

I need to include the entire lot plus parts of adjacent lots and the street in my plot. However, it is pretty simple terrain as it is mostly flat.

Any help is much appreciated.
