Pro Tip – Pick Me Up 💡
To simplify selecting edges that are draped on terrain, try this. First, clear any selection. Then, start a full Pick tool, for example Fit. In the pickphase, click the edge.
The pickphase has built-in logic that makes edges easier to hit, wihtout also selecting terrain.
With the selection completed, you can directly run antoher command. Or just hit e.g. Space to exit the pick tool, keeping your selection.
Landshape's built-in pick system facilitates selecting surface edgework in a single click.
Note
- Note that currently, you cannot control resolution in the VCB, even though it is applies to the result. To change resolution, use e.g. the Panel.
