Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
Dear Puybaret! This is great tool, thank you! Now it's nice to make hills, but hard to make pits, so base thickness of room is needed.
It could be taken from current level thickness.
Or it may be option to elevate all points of the upper surface to specified distance. For example: I know that my lowest local terrain point (pit) is -500мм, so I elevate all upper points to 500 and lowering few local point to ziro level

Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
Any hole you'll draw in your room(s) will appear in the plug-in dialog box too. For example, if you want to draw a two level house on a slope like the one attached to this post, you could draw a room that surrounds the garage like the green room in the following image. If you don't know how to draw a room with a hole, look at this video or draw two rooms which won't include the house surface.
Then, if you select this room and the path to the garage to build a terrain from them with the plug-in, you can design a slope which will show the hole of the garage.
After a few tries, you'll get the following nice little house that you may visit in 3D here.

Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
Hello!
I spoke about the case of creating a predominantly flat relief with local underestimations (pits); not about cutting vertical holes. Like flat terra with pond

Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
If you want to modify the generated shape, you have to select the room(s) like the first time.

Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
Super!!!
Question: i am trying to dram landscape around house, maybe in a future version of plugin, it would be AWESOME if we could have the whole house or at least objects at the same elevation level in the preview window, does'nt even know if it's possible "code saying".
Congratulations for terrain AND side view plugin sooooo helpful

Re: Terrain Generator plug-in
This plugin is a great idea. However, for LARGE properties, it is not good. The property I am trying to replicate is 150' wide by 300' deep. It has a 16' rise along the diagonal from back right to front left. Amongst that slope are some drainage valleys. For me to go point to point, or even using the magnetism or the alignment functions, would take an enormous amount of time. In my case, I would think being able to input the corner elevations, and perhaps some halfway points, would get a beginning slope to work with. Then modify the terrain up or down in specific areas as needed.
