Outlander Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Anyone know how to create landscape retaining walls that have a sloped top? I need the start of the retaining wall to be at 0.6m height, tapering slowly down to grade. Must be a site modifier too. The attached image has some walls similar to what I'm trying to model.

CipesDesign Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If it was me, I'd first use Pads and Grade Limits to grade the Site Model, then I would use the Round Wall tool (not the retaining wall tool) to create the Walls. After that you can go to an isometric view and double click the Wall, then grab one of the handles and pull it (or set it via the Heads Up Display) to be the desired hight at each end. Addendum: make sure to Send the Wall to the Site Model surface before adjusting the end heights. It will at least get it close to start with. Quote Link to comment
Outlander Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for the help. Ended up creating the walls as basic 3d objects using the extrude tool, then taper. To get the site modification, just put a pad with retaining edge on the back of the walls. Quote Link to comment
