      Im wondering if there is a plugin/tool that allows me to extrude a contoured (non flat) face from a terrain.

      Currently I am using a line extrude command, then copying up the face to that height.

      Or I am intersecting a 'flat' extruded face between to levels of the contoured terrain. These are very time consuming. (hope this makes sense)

      Anything out there?

          Yeah, Fredo's Joint Push Pull for sure. Its a must have plugin.

          If you are doing this a lot and selecting smaller portions of a bigger landscape, you might also want to get better seletion tools, like a lasso tool, to cut down on selection time. Thomthom's Vertex Tools has a nice variety of selection tools.

            Perhaps this plugin?

            A sample model showing what you start and end with would be most helpful.

            Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.
