Region Properties

Options

Height

Topology height, either positive for a mound or negative for a depression.

Height taper

How steep the transition is from the top of the mound or bottom of the depression to the surrounding terrain. Smaller values will produce more gradual mounds and depressions, while larger values will produce sharper mounds and depressions. Use 100 for a vertical edge.

Edge style

How sharp or smooth the transition is between the edge of the region and the underlying surface.

In Architect, this only affects the Perspective view. The transition is always sharp in the Plan view.
