Hello all,I've got a question about embankment and cutting, cause I don't get in totally...The main question, comming from loads of others, is: How do I creat a steep hill. Do I have to set the embankment value higher or lower to get a steeper hill? And what about the cutting??I searched, but there seems no tutorial or someting alike around the whole internet about this...Thanks a lot!Regards,René----------------------------- Zoveel leuke dingen, zo weinig tijd...
Perhaps not totally clear from Jim's tutorial dealing with your desire to get a steep vertical face, for example a cliff wall, you need to go to the wire frame mode to clearly see the terrain nodes and then use the terrain editing tool to raise a node while lowering the node next to it. Just experiment a little and you will get the hang of it. As for the embankment values, simple geometry. If zero is horizontal, then 90 is vertical. I don't think the editor will allow you to set embankment or cutting more than about 85 degrees, so if you want a vertical wall, about the only way is with the terrain editing tool.Larry
