Great tip Allen, I'm in the Mtns and this will help a lot. Keep it up!

Your welcome

I don't like points because they can not be seen very well after..
Using a fill on smaller regions might make them easy to see and work with..

Maybe being able to adjust them in 3D will be the next step...

allen, try it where the retaining wall does not end at the end of the terrain perimeter. (the terrain should flow around the end of the retaining wall.) this is what im talking about, the splines in this situation, for me, is much easier to use.

excuse the messy driveway.. i'm just showing a point.

Hi Ric
I was not disagreeing with you..
My terrain needs lots of practice.This just seemed like a fast easy way to get a basic terrain..

[ECSURFER84]

i totaly agree. i deal with terrain and landscaping all the time, so i just find using splines to be more accurate.

[Allen42acj]

I am much better at roof than terrains..
Every house needs one,terrains are more an extra..
But I would like to get better..
I hope you post some easy tips..Easy is the key word..

[ECSURFER84]

definately..... honestly, its about the same difficulty as building manual roofs... once you get used to how it works (knowing how it works, or is going to), its about the same.

but im more than willing to help with terrain, its all about making the picture PRETTY!

Thanks for the help. I googled, but I couldn't find the BHG forum for their software. Could you direct me to it?

Thanks.
