INSERT ROADS ON THE SITE

Anonymous
Not applicable
I saw a tutorial about inserting a slab as a road on a site mesh with the SEO using the Subtraction upward.
It was amazing.. but my site mesh is very irregular, and the slab is a plane.
I`m tring to edit the nodes... is there another way to do this? and how can I weld the nodes of many slab to make only one???
Thanks

I`m trying to insert the road on the irregular site.
I found a tutorial but it was using a slab. In my case, the roads aren`t straight and plane. They follow the terrain mesh.
What is the best way to do it without architerra??
Thanks a lot

1. Set a slab the plan shape of the road.
2. Using SEO set the slab road as the Target and the site as the operator. The operation set to INTERSECT. This will trim the slab to be just where it intersects the mesh and the top will mimic the mesh irregularities.
3. Now using SEO set the mesh as the target and the road/slab as the operator and subtract with upwards extrusion.
