Is there a way to reduce the fairway width after you have saved it and moved on to other things? I know, I could probably delete the brushes I used, or start over again, but I want to reduce my fairway width by just a little bit.
Cheers

I'll have to find time to make a video on fairways/rough... it's hard to find the time usually but I'll make it happen this weekend if I can.
I will say that laying light rough after all the fairway is down take a little longer but once you get the process it really doesn't take that long and can look just as clean if you do it right.
Here's a tip I've shared before but I think needs to be said again. GENERALLY leave some space around your bunkers (near greens especially). Use that space to create depth without pulling at your green or fairway. When you drop the bunker down into the ground it will automatically seem closer to the playing surface than it did when flat.

Cheers YES...get a RED sculpting brush and lower it down below water level. That will erase the fairway there AND it won't allow you to place fairway there by accident later.

Let me know if you have any trouble with this crushtastic and I can post a quick vid. You will likely have to alter your light rough afterward which, depending on how you laid it down, could be just as big a pain in the ass.

True...I don't use that method myself. I just delete the area and do it again using "area delete"...but now you know there is a way!

Thanks, I decided it was easier to just delete the brushes and start again. As I'm only practicing on one hole, it wasn't too bad. Lucky I watched a few vids before hand from Antonio and Seth and used large brushes to cover the area. Thanks reebdoog for the tip

No problem. Glad you have found it helpful.
Anybody else need some help in a specific area or have a suggestion for a video?

How about getting retaining walls to come out looking good so you can have the ground flush to the top of the wall without anything poking out the front of the wall? Probably be a boring video for you to do, but I can never seem to raise or lower land so it has a sheer face to it, is there an ideal brush/shape to use for that?
One other thing, how much planting can you do on a course before lag kicks in? Is there a specific percentage point on the bar when it crosses into being unplayable for some or is it certain items planted that are the biggest lag killers?
Thanks as always.

Id also like to know about retaining walls. I did a little with them but it looked horrible, so how do you get it right?

Cool, 3 new topics:
Pot bunkers: Might not be the most qualified for this but I have been itching to do a links course so we'll figure out those together.
Retaining walls: I have experience with that will be a quick video.
Planting large areas and lag/object meter: These tie in together and I definitely have some thoughts on the topic.

Didn't watch the vid yet but here's the tricks I use with retaining walls:
Don't worry about the ground at ALL when you're putting them down. Just slap em down where you want them. ONE SET ONLY. THEN go back and flatten the ground so it all matches up on the GROUND side of the wall. Then drop the water down on the water side. DON'T TRY TO MAKE THE GROUND ALL DISSAPPEAR AS YOU'RE DOING THIS! Sometimes just doing a drop, then a slightly smaller drop will cause the ground to go away without eating into the other side too much. Take your time.
Now...go back and put in another wall behind the first...then do it again if you need to. It looks just as good and you won't have any messy ground. It sucks your time up but I usually do THREE walls.
