Creating a Pad

You can use the Pads tool to insert a concrete or brick pad directly on your terrain. By drawing the outline of the pad, you control its precise size and shape. You can use the Materials Paintbrush to apply a different color or material to the pad after it has been inserted.

To create a patio:

1. Select Insert > Terrain > Pads, or click the Pads button on the Terrain toolbar.

2. In the catalog, select the type of slab you want to insert.

3. Select a start point for the slab.

4. Continue selecting points to define the outline of the slab. Note that the last point picked always closes back to the start point, so you don’t have to pick the start point again.

5. Right-click and select Finish.
