Fixing perimeter of plot

[plawlor15]

Hi all,

Just working on my first Lidar course. I imported using the tools and things worked pretty well. The course I'm recreating is a stretched out layout, so a few of the holes are quite close to the boundary of the plot, but it works. My question -- how do others go about bringing the perimeter of the plot up to the level of the imported portion? I'm hoping there is a more straight-forward approach than what I've been trying. Anything I do really starts to ruin the sculpting of the imported portion next to it. I've got places where the imported terrain is hundreds of feet higher than the plot area next to it. How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

Was just working on that myself for my first course yesterday. It's just a matter of using the flatten and bring it up 90-150 feet. I grabbed a hard edges brush (1st one on the 1st page) and did that. I just had to be VERY careful with not affecting the teeing grounds or the greens when close to the edge (like you, I have about 3 holes right near the edge - in the future I'll allow the lidar to go much wider now that I have a better idea of how the edge works). This usually leaves a "canyon" in between the lidar course and your outer edge, but if you bring up the outer surface a little higher then use trees to block it out you won't notice it. In areas where the edge is not close to holes then I carefully flatten it out to leave no edge.

In this live stream you can see towards the middle or end that he is working on the edges which showed me how to do it:

Thanks for the tip rixg. I used your technique, but then used a little extra flattening and smoothing to remove the canyon. It was probably unnecessary, but hey, I'm anal. Took me forever, but it looks pretty good now.

Use the Red raise terrain brush and make a huge square to run along the edge of your course. This does not interfere with the imported lidar terrain. However, it will raise the floor of your water areas if you chose to keep those un-filled when creating the course in chadtools, so be careful around those areas.

I'll try that next time. Thanks for the reply. That certainly sounds like a more efficient approach.
