Mesh elevations help

[Anonymous]

I have this mesh that I need to be set up sloping from -10m to -5m, but when I input the z height for either outer line, it makes the entire perimeter that elevation, not just that ridge. It seems as if it wants me to input the exact z height for each node if I want it to behave like it should...any ideas what Im doing wrong?

This is because 2 of your contours are part of the outer boundary of the mesh. As I don't know what you are trying to create with the mesh I don't know if you can add some mesh to either end so that the upper and lower contours are not boundaries any longer but included within the mesh. Then it would be fairly easy to do as you describe. Otherwise you will need to do exactly as you describe and edit each node.

Sorry about that.

Cheers,

I need both outer lines to be the exterior ones. This basically is just a sloping grade in between two retaining walls (on the flat line sides)

How about just putting in paper thin mesh along retaining walls, would that now allow not having to adjust each node?

that worked well enough for now...may be back later with more detail on what i may need to do but as of now that works fine for simple conceptual viewing...thanks all!
