Does anyone know why this is happening and what I might be able to do to fix it? I'm using the fairway brush instead of filling the spline so I can create proper fairway bunkers. But when I try to simply place fairway shapes over the gap you see in this picture, it doesn't work. It will cover in the area around that gap, but won't cover that randomly shaped gap. Every other fairway is working fine - just that random spot. Happened once on my first course, too. Thanks for any input - I'm using Xbox.

Yeah I've seen this glitch on PC as well. Just run a spline along the edges of that area and fill it - should get rid of the spot

Use the red brush to raise a few feet maybe, if it’s not that then I have no idea

Yep, one of those weird times when the red brush is needed. Flatten or raise that area with the red brush and it should fill in the fairway.

Crazycanuck1985 one of the few instances a red brush is needed. Figured I'd tag you since you get asked that question all of the time in your streams and never really have an answer. This happens when you raise an area that was originally water and try to place a fairway/green brush over it. I figured this out way back when I was using autogen fairways (I think in TGC2) and never found the right way to explain the situation.

ok, got it. Thanks everyone - I'll try the red brush and the spline. Either one is great.
I don't remember if I raised that part from the water table, but definitely could have on this course.

Also, a quicker way than painting the fairways is draw a spline of fairway around the centre bunker and then add a third spline inside the outer spline but around the one you just added around the bunker then fill. I’m aware that’s a sh%$ description so maybe just pull up a Canuck or 101 video as they do these bunkers lots

ahhh - cool, thanks! I've watched all the videos but didn't pick that up re the fairway bunkers and the third spline - I'll try it.
And the red brush worked. I raised that section of fairway using it, and the fairway magically appeared. No idea why, but it worked, so thanks to each of you who had good suggestions.

The red brush works in mysterious ways lol

The SCULPT tool (red brush) modifies the base terrain. The LANDSCAPE tool (blue brush) supersedes the SCULPT tool. It is likely that the part of the land where the fairway wouldn't cover was below water at one time, and raised to be above the water level using the LANDSCAPE tool. That would leave the base terrain below the water, even though the actual land is above it. If the base terrain is below the water level, you can't use fairway or green brushes; they won't work. On the other hand, auto-filled splines, will cover the ground, so that's why you see the outside of your spline successfully running through the area without interruption.

ahh, thank you - great to know that, especially since I'm working on a course with a fair amount of water presence. Not sure if I can pull it off, but knowing that and how to solve it removes one barrier.

Since this thread got bumped, I'll post the video I made about the SCULPT and LANDSCAPE tools, and how to fix this issue with missing fairways.

Question then. Should I be using the red brush for all macro sculpting? If this indeed does change the base terrain, then surely the “point data” for that polygon would only be stored once in the file.
As opposed to using the blue brushes which would add (or subtract) to the base terrain point data. So it would need to store the base point as well as the modified point.
Again, I’m only guessing, as this is how my analytical programming brain works.
