Terrain surfaces

Workshop

The terrain will now be adapted to the house.

1. Show everything and switch to the terrain mode "with structure".
   
   
2. Start the TERRAIN function and then the function NEW TERRAIN EDGE/AREA . Ensure that the "type of entry" is set to ”Drawing the contour”.
   
   
3. The drawing functions appear in the Input Assistant. Switch to the drawing function RECTANGLE.
   
   
4. Draw the contour shown in red.
   
   
5. For the ground colour, delete any material name present, switch to colour mode and enter the following values into the dialog.
   
   
6. For the terrain surface to take effect, a height point must be added to it. Start the function NEW DEFINITION POINT.
   
   
7. For the z coordinate, specify the height 130, place the point at the bottom right onto the corner of the terrain surface and confirm with Enter.
   
   

   The terrain now looks as follows:
   
   

8. Restart the function TERRAIN and then the function TERRAIN EDGE/AREA.
   
   
9. The drawing functions appear in the Input Assistant. Switch to the drawing function POLYGON.
   
   
10. Draw the contour shown in red.
    
    
11. Activate the option "Use terrain colour" and confirm with .
    

    A height need not be assigned to this terrain surface because the definition point previously set applies to both areas.
    The terrain now looks as follows:
    
    

12. Restart the function TERRAIN and then the function TERRAIN EDGE/AREA.
    
    
13. The drawing functions appear in the Input Assistant. Switch to the drawing function POLYGON.
    
    
14. Draw the contour shown in red.
    
15. Enter the following values into the dialog and confirm with .
    
    
16. A height must be assigned to the terrain surface. Start the function NEW DEFINITION POINT.
    
    
17. For the z coordinate, specify the height 0, place the point at the top right onto the corner of the terrain surface and confirm with Enter.
    
    

    The terrain now looks as follows:
    

18. Draw additional terrain surfaces

    Ensure that the terrain surfaces are the same distance apart as specified in the template.
    

    The terrain now looks as follows:
    
    

Explanation

If terrain edges/surfaces are located exactly on top of each other, the 3D nodes are identical. After selecting the terrain surface, you can insert additional points by clicking on a handle or gripper of the contour.
Click on the terrain surface and divide the element on the relevant points. Height points must be set on these 3D nodes.
