I know how to use the sandbox tools when creating new, from scratch but cant seem to figure out how to contour an existing surfaces, I am Working a site plan and have landscaping beds and want to add a litte contour. can you use smoove tool on an existing surface?
just one flat surface. site plans end up with a lot of islands and green areas that woudl be nice to add some simple contouring too after creating.
Think of it as creating a grid over the surface. You basically create an array of edges in the x and y ‘grid’ to give you something to smoove.
Thank I am getting it. Thanks !!
Try placing a new grid from scratch over the landscape planting area…
Then drape the grid onto the planting bed…
Then you can smoove…
and bam!
