Brush Menu Overview

Brushes are a quick and effortless way to edit terrain.

Brushes are especially useful when the boundary of the affected area does not need to be exact.

Often, brushes are a good layup for the more accurate Pick commands.

Landshape offers two kinds of brushes. They work in similar, but different, ways.

Classic Brushes

Brushes Grab, Raise, Sink, Level, Bank, Slope, and Smooth are Standard Brushes.

Currently, Standard brushes:
✅ Highlight terrain vertices
✅ Support Geofencing
❌ Don't outline stroked area
❌ Don't support unstroking

Area Brushes

Brushes Noise, Mesh and Zone are Area Brushes.

Currently, Area brushes:
❌ Don't highlight terrain vertices
❌ Don't support Geofencing
✅ Outline stroked area
✅ Support unstroking

Holygon aims to harmonize these feature sets, making all brushes support all features above.

Read Statusbar and VCB for Details

• When a brush is active, Sketchup's statusbar will show the current state and options. Read the statusbar carefully.
• The VCB and its label shows any current parameters. When Brushing, try typing different values and hit Enter to control the brush effect. Continue brushing and see what happens.
• To explore the tool, open a new sandbox model. Plot-quake a random terrain. Then try the Brush on it.
• Don't be afraid to play around!
