The Retaining Wall tool is used to create retaining walls that manage changes in ground elevation within your landscape design. For example, you can use it to support soil on a sloped yard, create leveled garden areas, or prevent erosion on uneven terrain. Retaining walls are especially useful when designing landscapes with height differences, as they help stabilize the ground and create clean, structured levels.

To use the Retaining Wall tool, go to the Landscape tab in the main toolbar and select it. Then click in the drawing area to begin placing points that define the direction of the wall. Continue clicking to shape the wall along the slope, and right-click to finish. The wall segments automatically snap to endpoints as you draw, helping you maintain accuracy. You can also hold the SHIFT key to adjust angle constraints while drawing.

After placing the retaining wall, you can modify its properties in the Properties panel. This includes adjusting dimensions such as height, thickness, and length. In the 3D view, you can apply different materials like concrete or stone to match your landscape style. The Retaining Wall tool allows you to manage elevation changes effectively while adding both structural support and visual appeal to your outdoor design.
