Terrain Not Too Accurate

[RailWanderer]

Hi you need to adjust cutting and embankment settings from painting terrain sub menu.

That depends on what the designer is after. I took his comment about the cut as he didn't want it, or it was too deep. The embankment and cutting only controls the angle of the cut or embankment from what I have witnessed. The smoothing technique smooths the cut or embankment so they are no longer visible using a smoothed slope. I use this technique all the time when I am laying track and the terrain data is not accurate.

Agree.

So I have imported the data and started laying track according to the track charts, but I get these huge cut outs in the ground like this:
In real life these areas are just about level with the track.
Any tips?

Its easier to show than to describe. PM'd.

I have noticed, in my few feeble attempts at route building, that most offen the terrain height data “Includes” the height of trees and forests.... So, you may have to clear back and smooth out quite a bit. Just a thought....
