rocks

[azizg]

I wish there was a simple way to make rocks and boulders in 3D. I know there is the loft tool but that almost always creates some really wierd results, with rail connecting funny places together and not ligning up when you try.

some thing like being able to make small DTM's. with out all the functionality of landscape DTM's. That would be very handy, and save hours of time. Where I live you can't buy a piece of land that doesn't have at least a couple of big granite boulders to wrap a house around.

Thanks for the info. It is a strange little program, yet it works.

Unlike you Alan, I have never used Command Line Interface. I have always been on a Mac. So it was interesting to explore the "Dark Side" of a non-GUI program :-).

While attending college at UCSB I worked as a landscape Architect for the US Forest Service. Part of my drafting job was planting rocks on plans !

that's brilliant Alan. Thanks

But I would still like to see some thing built into VW that gives more control over the shape of the rocks.

How do you get the file into VW?

Hi Joshua

You need to type the correct file extension on to the end of the file (.dxf). other wise VW can't recognise it.
