Creating terrain from site plan
-
Hi all,
Just wondering if you can point me in the right direction....
I'm helping out someone who designs outdoor spaces. She has a particularly tricky piece of terrain which she would like modelling. She's managed to get hold of the .pdf of the topo survey for me (the .dwg isn't forthcoming unfortunately) so I've scaled it up and started modelling the area.
I'm now just wondering the best way to model the terrain. I can obviously extrapolate the spot heights upwards (there's not too many), enter the correct height and then use sandbox.
But is this the only way? Doing it this way gives very sharp and un-terrain edges to the surface which isn't ideal.
Many thanks in advance.

Have you seen Fredo's TopoShaper?
Once you have the contours it'll make really nice meshes from it

Thank you, Rich. I had no idea that that existed.

No worries. Hope you are keeping well? You haven't visited in a while...

I know, it's rubbish. I always mean to but new job and personal stuff just gets in the way.
