Sand Box and Road Curbs

Im a trying to add curbs on a roadway. is there a way that i can basically drop my road 6" so there will be a hard corner for a curb?

There probably is but without some picture for reference it's hard to suggest the best method. Does the road slope?

This is the road. I want to drop it 6" consistently on the model but follow the slopes

Use the ector PushPull mode to PP along the Z axis.
Note that your roads must be properly draped first (i.e. you will need to be able to separately select the road surface). Also, with a difficult mesh, the operation may take a while so be patient.

one method I have used for this is to copy the whole terrain down by the height of your curb then to create a block from the extrusion of your roads and intersect it with the whole model. after that clean up the model and you will have curbs and roads at a lower level than sidewalks. there is some work involved in it but it works.
