Issue description
A path or road, created for example with the slab tool, needs to be visible on the surface of a terrain and should follow the terrain's contours.
Solution
Create an intersection between the road and the terrain using Solid Element Operations:
1. Go to Design > Solid Element Operations.
2. To ensure the slab and the terrain intersect correctly, use the Solid Element Operations feature.
- Define the path/road (slab) as the Target element.
- Define the terrain (mesh) as the Operator element.
- Select the operation Intersection.
- Set the New Surface Material for the target to Inherit Attributes of the Target.
3. Subtract the intersection of the terrain.
Next, perform another solid element operation.
- Define the path/road (slab) as the Operator element.
- Define the terrain (mesh) as the Target element.
- Select the operation Subtraction with Upward Extrusion.
- Set the New Surface Material for the target to Inherit from Operator.
As a result, the path/road will be correctly displayed on the terrain's surface, and the surface texture will follow the terrain's contour.
