Walls as pads?


Joss Paine

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

So I'm creating a project for school on a sloped site, where I'm using curved walls as paths by making them very wide and shallow. What I'd like to do next is use the bottom of these wall path things as pads but a wall Is not a compatible object to do to. I can create pads from polygons at key points to sort of get to where I need to be, but is there a more elegant solution?

 

Thanks

I haven't tested this, but you could try using the Extract Surface tool on the bottom of the wall, and then use the resulting object as a Site Modifier by changing its class to Site-DTM-Modifier.  There's probably a better way of generating a 3d object to turn into a site modifier, but that was my first thought.
