I'm now trying for quite some time to use the terrain modelling in vectorworks, but to no avail. As far as I'm concerned, this tool is not usable under real world conditions, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. If you look at the attached image, I have some 3D-Polylines set to the right elevation which define my model. So far so good. But I'm not able to get acceptable height lines out of it. As you can see on the top side there is a street with more or less parallel elevation lines. But vectorworks is somehow weirdly interpolating the geometry. The result is that in the finished model the street is not visible at all anymore. When I try to use modifiers to correct this issue, Vectorworks simply ignores the modifiers.

hello forum
I'm now trying for quite some time to use the terrain modelling in vectorworks, but to no avail.

Has anyone of you had more luck with this tool?
Thank you very much for any help on that matter
