4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 on the opposite wall: draw three arcs, select the edges along
the trail and drawn arcs, and activate the From Contour tool to generate a slope. Clean up any artifact geometry. Add color to the simulated terrain.
5. Add trees and vegetation to the simulated slopes. Include people, benches, and other
amenities to complete the scene. Learn to snap trees and other objects to the sloping surfaces generated in the tutorial.
Building Entry Walk The goal of this tutorial is to construct a walk and associated terrain leading up to a building entry. This tutorial is more complex than the previous examples using construction geometry. All the edges drafted will be used to define the various slopes and grades. The purpose of the tutorial is to demonstrate how simple edges can be used to generate specific elevations and grades.
