dshall 1499 Posted April 8, 2016 Working on a project in X8. Not a super complicated terrain, but there was a bit of info..... anyway, the terrain behaves as I think it should. Has anybody else noticed that the terrain behaves better in X8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidJPotter 315 Posted April 8, 2016 Naw, it works just as it has worked since they added it as a feature back in Version 7. DJP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnny 458 Posted April 8, 2016 If I was going to build a scaled terrain model in real life the last thing Id do is grab a roll of cellophane wrap and try and stretch it over toothpicks. Yet, I feel this is exactly how Chief developed our terrain tools. Not a fan, and I dont see any difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe_Carrick 2319 Posted April 8, 2016 I Start with just 2-3 Elevation Lines and a few "Flat Terrain Regions" with "Interpolate Edges" checked. Then I add Roads, Driveways, Sidewalks, etc. Beyond that, Terrain Features, Terrain Breaks, Retaining Walls............. The less Elevation Data I provide, the better the Terrain results.

glennw 988 Posted April 9, 2016 Scott, As far as I can tell, there have been no changes to the terrain tools. Maybe it's just that you are getting better at them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joey_martin 365 Posted April 9, 2016 I have noticed that X seems to be more receptive to the info I feed in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Producing terrains for me is akin to getting up and flushing a $20 down the toilet every ten minutes. I seldom need them for the con docs I produce. It is easy enough to list elevation data at property pins and foundation when needed. That said, I would do more if better tools were available such as a 3d graphical interface where I could push/pull surfaces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
