Hello Guys! I am working on a hill resort project where I am facing huge trouble in making roads and site grading. I need to place the road and building along with cut and fill options. Is there any way to do that using Lands Design. I need a smoother road which cuts along the terrain contour and capable adjusting it wherever needed.
Hi Logesh,
Sorry for the late reply.
Lands Design has a cut and fill command (terrain tools) that you can use after that you can create a division to be able to asigned some texture. But if you want a way to make a path and this one get adjust itself on the terrain you can use the “add path” command (terrain tool) which is adjusted automatically on the terrain and itself is producing the cut and fills required to get the path if you want asigned some texture you have to create a division after that. . In the vegetation tool bar you have “path” just you have to design a profile in the X axis and anable the command adjust terrain in the Lands Panel
hope this help.
Hi Anna, I just started to try and learn rhino+lands design and I am facing similar problem with a much smaller project than the one shown above. I have a case of a road going down and an entrance to a plot on the left. This will make a shape with curves for the entrance path and on this shape there is an edge that has to follow the road slope. I just can’t do it with the path tool becase it only makes regular width paths. Real world have existing shapes that we have to respect and connect with our new construction. So, I don’t know how to solve this, since cut and fill only makes a flat surface. Thank you for reading. I hope you can help me.
You can do that using cut &fill command in Lands Design 6.3. Please make sure you have the latest version installed — you can download it here.
Then, watch this tutorial starting from minute 14:45- it explains how to generate a cut and fill using a closed curve and modify slope in different sections.
