Befriending Landshape's Interface

Landshape wants to be your friend. Loop view, whose icon is seen above, lets you orbit around your creation.

Landshape is designed to be user-friendly.

A good place to start is to get to know the user interface, also known as the "UI".

While it may seem a bit daunting at first, there is method to the madness. Learn a few basic patterns, and you will soon find it easier to understand.

Landshape Toolbar Overview

A goot place to start is the toolbars. Most users start exploring Landshape by clicking toolbar icons.

Let's take a look at the toolbars in turn:

The Start Toolbar

The Start toolbar will show at first install. It collects a few core features that help you get started with basic Landshaping. Once you get along with the basics, you can hide this toolbar, and use the other toolbars instead.

The Main Toolbar

The Main toolbar contains the fundamental set of commands for creating and editing your terrain. This includes Pickers, which let you select reuseable input groups that control and shape your terrain. It also includes classic point-and-click tools, like Splash and Fill.

The View Toolbar

The View toolbar contains features that control the visibility and styling of terrain and related items.

The Brush Toolbar

The Brush toolbar contains all brushes. These are useful for quick, expressive terrain modelling.

The Survey Toolbar

The Survey toolbar contains features that help you analyze and measure your terrain.

Dimmed icons

If a toolbar icon is dimmed, it shows that your current subscription plan does not cover this command. To access this command, upgrade to a higher subscription plan.
