Thanks i just done that, its lowering the area but also the terrain wall. I want the terrain wall to be at one level from the top.

place elevation lines on each side of the terrain wall set to desired height on each side

 

may need other elevation regions

Try using something other than a terrain path for your "terrain wall". A terrain path will follow the terrain.

Use a retaining wall with an elev. line either side , not a terrain wall which will follow the terrain as Tommy noted.....

Never considered kbirds method, I might try it. I do not like Tommy's method. I think the best method is to put a wall in and designate it as retaining. Now here is the key.......... Adjust the height of the top and bottom of wall. Now put the height back to original elevation if you want. The key is once you have changed the elevation, it will STAY as you put it.

KBird & Scott. Please read my post a little closer. I didn't offer any wall type to use or any method. I recommended NOT to use a terrain path for what he called "a terrain wall". You both actually agree with me. He used a terrain path and called it a terrain wall.
