Problem creating realistic slope in parking lot
-
I have a parking lot that has two conditions. In some areas the asphalt driveway/parking spaces abut a six inch curb. In other areas of the parking lot, the asphalt driveway/parking spaces are adjacent to a flush walkway. Where the driveway/parking spaces are adjacent to a flush walkway, I'm trying to slope the asphalt to the walkway so that the transition looks relatively seamless.
I've attached a screenshot of the model to better explain.
So far, I've tried drawing a line/arc down each curb and using the Sandbox 'From Contours' tool to create the effect. In doing so though, it leaves a line where the parking meets the drive aisle. Is there any way to get rid of this line? Or more importantly, is there a better way to do this so that the overall transition from drive aisle-to parking-to walkway looks more seamless and realistic?

Soften it with Entity Info or CTRL+Erase

Thanks! That helps a lot. I didn't think it would be that easy. Do you think I'm approaching this whole slope situation the best way?

If you're making progress your learning
Isolate geometry into groups/components to make editing easier. Tag[Layer for the OGs] items to help organisation and visibility.
Outliner is your friend if you stay organised and name things with some type of convention you can glance at.
The most important key press in SketchUp is CTRL+S and 2nd most important is F1. Use both frequently.
