            Hi everyone.
            I want to write my problem on this title.
            I have a problem with Sandbox.
            I creted my land with your help. I want to put my building to the levels.
            I know, we use "Stamp" for putting building on levels. But I didn't write numeral value for determine the building how much deep or up.
            How can regulate that.?
            Thank you.

              Push/Pull the building up/down. Perhaps leave it a little higher/lower than you intend it to be finally [depending on whether it is to be built up or cut in]... Afterwards you can always Select the building AND its flat stamped area (you can vary the offset of that flat area at the time of stamping by typing a new distance into the VCB) and by then using the Move Tool on this Selection: constrained vertically (blue) with Shift-key: then all connected geometry like 'embankments' will adjust their angle to suit...

                      Is there a way that i can use scratch tool with irregular shape instead of the rectangular shape? say a star for example?

                        Once you drew your rectangular shape, you can draw any shape to intersect it with.
