Ground Elevation
Hi,

I would like to request a feature in the 3D mode to allow a visualisation of the ground elevation for a sloping block.

Sometimes It's difficult to visualise building the home without seeing the block first.

even if its only the ability to import an already sloped picture of some kind for visualisation purposes.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Re: Ground Elevation
Use a few very large triangles around your building to simulate the slope of the terrain....

Re: Ground Elevation
Sorry but don't hope any other solution than the one suggested by Hans before a while...

Re: Ground Elevation
If you have some other 3D software, you can create a landscape object as you wish and import it into SH3D, as i show here:

i use Cinema4D. I believe blender is also capable of creating random landscape. And bryce is free in some versions also.
no need to blame Puybaret in this case IMHO :-)
