'Snapping' to a face above a terrain?
-
Just wondering the best way that I can draw on a face positioned directly 'above' a terrain model so that I can then drape the lines/faces onto the terrain below (using sandbox > terain.
Every time I try drawing above, it always snaps to the terrain below!
Can anyone help?!
-
a little file example? (in V6 save as)
-
Attached is an example of what I am trying to do ....
I use top view in Paralel projection and then draw my road/path, ready to be draped, but it always snaps to the terrain thus making it impossible to do!
Thanks!

Hi, leedeetee,
this happens only if you are in the X-ray mode.

kill the Xray Mode
Fill color the rectangle following taste / Edit Color, decrease the opacity
So you can see toward your surface
And draw your roads as you want

Hi Pilou,
At this opportunity I had not thought of! But I must correct your reference. The path:
Material -> Edit Color -> Create Material -> OpacityKarlheinz

Many thanks! So effective, so simple!

@Charly
You create new material if you need it
In my case I just edit the current color painted then reput color opacity to 100% at the end of the process
