      Just wondering if anyone can help with a quick question.

      I'm trying to create a simple bit of landscape, with 2 contours, one on "0" the other 1.5m higher. I draw the two contours, then move the higher contour to the appropriate height. I then simply select the two countours, go to sandbox and activate the "from contours" function.

      I however, get this result....

      This can be rectified by manually amending but it takes a while - just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong in the first place?!

      Thanks ....

                  Works better with "open curves"! πŸ˜‰

                    Hi Lee,

                    The problem with the "From contours" tool is that it gives these faulty results all the time there are edges exactly above each other. So best is to exclude those edges from the selection when you use the tool first and then just close the faces with a couple lines afterwards.

                    Gai...
