Battering a driveway edge?

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 13:35:02 GMT

I have a driveway cut into a hillside and would like to batter the edges, the batter is only about a meter deep, so a 1.5 meter wide batter would do. The slope of the drive coming down the hill is about 15deg. The hillside is a mesh and the drive is a roof slab.

You could add points to the mesh and modify their elevations, or use another roof above your driveway, on a layer that is normally turned off, with sloping sides (angled fascia) and use Solid Element Operation subtraction.
A screen shot of what you are trying to achieve might be handy to help understand what you are after.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that the fascia will do the trick nicely.

there's always the excellent 'archiTerra' from cigraph. if that's a typical aspect of your project work it may be a worthwhile investment. it'll automatically create the cuttings and embankments when you place a 'road' onto an archiTerra terrain . . . and more.

Thanks Ben
I have been looking into that today, as link also suggested that Archi-terra was the way to go.
