Hi all
Any hints and tips on retaining walls? I've tried them on Gemstone Valley but find it very hard to get the look right.
The main thing I am having problems with is getting the walls flush to the water so no soil can be seen on the water side of the wall. Using the new ultra thin tool to lower the ground, it still seems to pull down the terrain on the other side of the wall so it isn't level with the green or fairway.
Anyone fancy uploading a quick video to help out?

Here's a hint that could help out...
Use more than one wall...seriously. Put down the first wall but then put ANOTHER wall down...maybe even a third. Makes the top of the wall a little thicker but does give you a better look.

I have found that is you use the new very thin square brush and go down 5 metres and then slowly push it towards your wall, just as the earth starts to be stretched down, hit X and it will leave the perfect finish. Hope this helps!
