The Terrain tab is used to create and modify the ground surface around your building design.

This tab allows you to shape the land by adding elevation points, contour lines, slopes, and other topographical features. It is especially useful for designing landscapes that reflect real site conditions, such as hills, depressions, and graded areas.

To use the Terrain tools, select the Terrain tab from the main toolbar. You can place elevation points or draw contour lines directly in the workspace to define changes in height. After placing these elements, you can adjust their elevation values and properties to accurately shape the terrain. These tools help you control how the land interacts with foundations, driveways, patios, and other outdoor features.

The Terrain tab is mainly used for site planning and landscape modeling. It ensures that the building design fits naturally into the surrounding land and helps create realistic outdoor environments. By using these tools, you can produce accurate topographical layouts that improve both visualization and construction planning.
