Create new terrain by selection.

Useful to make new Landshape terrain from e.g existing Isocurves, a non-Landshape terrain model, an Add-Location terrain, a poincloud. Group input before forming.

Change terrain resolution by selection.

Control terrain mesh density by selected input geometry. Raise resolution locally to increase plasticity and surface detail. Lower resolution to save on your facebudget. Keep it simple.

Enmesh selected edges into terrain, enabling local features.

Useful to add local sharp definition to the terrain, in order to express a break in terrain elevations, or the limit between two materials.

Activate the Fence property in terrain edges, by selected control edges.

Useful to guide brush strokes, and to make terrain borders pesist across mesh operations.

Remove Fence property from terrain edges, by selected control edges.

Useful to locally turn Fences into standard unfenced edges.

Conform terrain snugly to selection.

Useful to make terrain follow the surface and elevation of your geometry. Fit to a grouped level rectangle to create a local plateau.

Fuse terrain outward or inward from selection bounds.

Useful to make terrain smoothly adapt to a target perimeter. Often used after Fit.

Fuse terrain outward or inward at fixed angle from selection bounds.

Useful to create controlled-angle slopes from a local plateau.

Raise or Sink terrain smoothly, within selection border.

Useful to organically elevate terrain, upward for e.g. mounds, downward for e.g. ponds or golf bunkers.

Reduce terrain sharpness and grain, within selection border.

Useful to remove local elevation artifacts. Smooth will not affect topology.

Roughen terrain, adding grain, within selection border.

Useful to add a bit of texture or life to overly smooth terrain. Noise will not affect topology.

Quickgrade terrain along selected paths.

Useful to create elevation for paths or roads. Input path controls both shape and elevation.

Force terrain to edges-and-points inside closed path in selection, and smoothen transitions.

Useful to accurately control the shape of terrain using minimal input. Grade is an advanced but poeerful command.

Make road along edge paths in selection.

Useful to quickly lay simple roads across the landscape.

Paint terrain by selection face material, creating zone.

Useful to color terrain. To get crisp material boundaries in the terrain, first Embed boundary edges, then Zone.

Preserve terrain inside selection bounds, and erase any terrain outside.

Useful to trim away terrain. Will remove any terrain plots that are not contiguous with the kept plot. Best used at the end of the workflow.

Create trail along selected path.

Enmesh selected edges into terrain, and Fence them, enabling local features, membrane for brushes, and iterative embedding.

Useful to Embed and Fence in one and the same operation. Fences are more permanent and enable feature-specific brush strokes.

Dramatize terrain randomly, within selection border.

Create organic height variation in a terrain. Useful to quickly whip up plots to befriend tools. Or for artistic purposes.

Erase terrain inside selection bounds.

Useful to trim away terrain. Best used at the end of the workflow.
