Mountains

[simonjackson1964]

Hi, it's that English guy who asks a lot of questions again...

So, didn't there used to be a way to create a mountain by dragging a point up? Can't seem to find how to do that on V5...

Hallo @simonjackson1964,

das geht noch genauso wie früher.

Bodenplatte selektieren, in den Höhenmodus (das Bergsymbol in Eigenschaftsfenster) anwählen, Rastergrösse und Verlauf einstellen, anschließend Höhenmodus aktivieren und Berg formen.

Hello @ simonjackson1964,
it works just like it used to.
Select the base plate, select the altitude mode (the mountain symbol in the properties window), set the grid size and gradient, then activate the altitude mode and shape the mountain.

Kind regards

further to Wüstenfuchs' explanation:

 

keys worth memorising:

left mouse button + drag: mark a new area (and lose old markings!)

shift + left mouse button + drag up / down: raise / lower ground

ctrl + left mouse button: add to marked area

alt + left mouse button: subtract from marked area (w sharp edge!)
