How to align walls to mesh

heyjudelooking — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:32:44 GMT

Hi!

Does anyone know how to align walls to a sloped mesh? I tried using the 'Gravitate to mesh' tool, but its only aligning to the first edge of the slope like in the photo below. Any suggestions where I don't have to entirely remodel the mesh?

Operating system used: Windows

If you seek to slope the wall itself: That is not entirely possible with just the wall tool.

There are many options to shape them though, be it by trimming with roofs, SEO, or openings.

Or use the railing tool that can associate to the mesh contours.

Set a rail profile to be the size of your wall (turn off posts).

It won't be a wall of course, but can look the same.

Be careful - the walls always have too be horizontal at footing - otherwise the wall will move down the slope. Make segments - different depths down to the level, where the soil cant freeze in winter. Frozen soil has more volume then non frozen - so in winter the soil moves always with temperature changes - and You don't want to move the building with it - it cracks otherwise.

So its no easy task "in real".

maybe some like this could help:
