Height Surface Inspector
Edit a selected surface layer’s height, edge profile and top shape, and understand preset replacement.
Height Surface InspectorA surface’s shape Inspector shows controls for its selected height layer or face shape. The available fields depend on the layer: an extrusion, height points and sculpting have different controls. Material and shape are separate choices.
Choose the layer to edit
Select a supported surface and open its shape or height-layer editing route. Select the intended layer in the main panel. The detailed Inspector uses that layer’s name, or its type when unnamed; it does not show every layer’s settings at once.
Adjust an extrusion
An extrusion offers Height, Edge Profile and, for profiles that use it, Edge Size. Current edge choices include Square, Bevel, Round, Bullnose, Ogee and Step variants. The supported edge size is limited by the shape’s dimensions.
Choose a top surface
Use Top Surface to choose an offered shape such as Flat, Dome, Pyramid, Ridge, Single Slope, Open Box or Beveled Plateau. Additional controls depend on the choice. Height Points and Sculpt lead to their dedicated editing modes when available.
Style Presets
Flat
A level top without an added peak or slope.
Dome
A rounded top that rises toward the center.
Ridge
A top that rises to a ridge line; its position and direction can be adjusted.
Pyramid
A top that rises toward a central peak with straight slopes.
Open Box
Raised perimeter walls with an open center.
Beveled Plateau
A flat central plateau with sloping edges.
Single Slope
A top that slopes in one direction, controlled by its angle and direction.
Read replacement confirmations
Changing a preset can replace an existing custom surface, including point, sculpt or profile data. Read the confirmation before Replace & Apply. Undo restores the previous terrain shape and its custom data; choosing a preset is not always an additive change.
Set appearance separately
Where Surface Material is offered, choose the finish for the selected target. Use the material and surface-class guides for appearance controls. Unit fields follow metric or imperial project settings; changing appearance is different from changing elevation.
