Thanks Michael. I didn't know about that tool. I'll have to edit my templates to have an "alternate surface" that is the top, finished grade.

Hi Josh,

seems you and I are going in parallel with regard to our learning process... I was looking at this only today.

I used the "Terrain > create Corridor Alternate Surfaces" to create the terrain from the example I'm currently working on. That seems to work OK...

Might be an option.

I know its there for a different purpose, but sometime you just have think a little laterally.

I found a video link (below) that explains the process of creating a terrain from a corridor. However, what used to happen with the click of the Create Surface button in SS2 now takes an eight minute video to explain. I thought one of the advantages to using SS3 is that everything would be dynamically linked so that when one part of a design changes the effects woudl trickle through. This seems like a lot more steps are necessary now to accomplish what could be done before with a single mouse click, and the results are no more dynamically linked in SS3 than they were in SS2.

Am I missing something?
