Adding an Area Grader

An Area Grader is a closed shape that flattens, and
optionally raises or lowers, the terrain. Some uses include building pads, level
patios, driveways, and tennis courts.
To add an Area Grader:
1. Click
Add Area Grader.
2. Draw
the object's outline by clicking to add points. Press Backspace to remove
the last point. Press Esc to cancel.
3. Click
the starting point to close the outline. Or, right-click to automatically join
the last point to the first.
The following is a landscape design before using an Area
Grader.

Here's the above design after an Area Grader has been
added.

Tips:
• You
can use as many area graders as needed.
• Area
graders can be any size, up to the size of the workspace.
• You
can rotate the area grader using the Rotate tool. See Rotating Objects for more information.
• To
flatten paths, use the Path Grader
object.
• In
some situations, you may need to control the order that terrain sculpting
objects are applied. See Controlling the Terrain Sculpting
Order for details.
