How do I edit landscapes

So I’m a total beginner with Twinmotion and I have this pool, but the thing is - it’s filled with grass. Not intentionally though, it’s landscape getting inside of my initial .fbx model from ArchiCAD (which had water here initially), and I’d like to know if there are any ways of carving this small area of the landscape out.

There was a terrain and I’ll try to think something out with maybe trying to merge model terrain with the landscape, but editing the landscape itself just feels much more intuitive and right. So if anybody knows a solution to this problem, you’re welcome to the discussion.

It’s easy:

-Delete your imported ground.
-Go to the library, vegetation, landscapes
-choose “Flat” and drag/drop it into your project - this will bring in a flat ground
-select it and adjust the height of it up/down
-on the right, there’s a landscape menu
-select “sculpt” and then the “Dig” icon
-adjust the diameter small enough to fit in your pool
-click and hold in your pool, sliding your cursor around to regrade the landscape down

Then go grab a water cube primitive from the library and place it into your pool.

If that helped you and that was the answer, please check my response as being the answer so it closes the file :slight_smile:

I believe I tried doing so and it resulted in the ground not meeting the top side of pool walls and pavings, but maybe I can fix this by making the objects go deeper into the ground. What I was looking for tho is some kind of Boolean operations or decent substitutes where I could precisely enter the characteristics of the chunk I want to edit.

I’ll try this out and if it works, I’ll mark your reply as the solution. Thank you

Ya, I don’t think you can do that without having a bit of a slope (steep cliff). I’m trying to make a cellar under a medieval tavern and there is a bit of an offset between the pit and the top of the landscape. Since you have a sidewalk around your pool, you might have more luck because of that buffer. Set your brush size to 3’, dig right in the middle. then using the “flatten” option, go over the very bottom and spread that elevation out wider so it makes the bottom flat. When you get close to the perimeter, change your brush size to 1’ and don’t go too far into the sidewalk. it should get you closer to what you want. I really wish they just had a void cube you could cut out of the landscape :slight_smile:
