I am working on my first course and have used the wizard to save time. I have heard this is not the best way to go, but time is not readily available with young twins! I am mainly trying to experiment with objects and terrain and the such. I am having trouble with getting my water and tee boxes level. I have tried using the flatten button but I still seem to get sloping. I have tried to flatten to the different choices but nothing is quite right. I have not quite figured out the slope function yet. I have looked at smilioats for some excellent information but this is something I may have missed.
Any help is greatly appreciated! |

Basically, for water you flatten to minimum level. Say you want to make a pond. You draw the shape of the pond and drop it. Next you draw another shape, say 8-12 yards outside your pond shape, and drop. Draw a third shape, 8-12 yds outside your second shape, and drop. These are buffer shapes. They help with controlling the elevations and also will keep your total points count down.
Now select the middle shape, enlarge by 1 and flatten to minimum. Youll see all kinds of creases just outside your flattened area. You can smooth these with the smooth tool by drawing shapes around them. Take care to stay outside your pond shape. Set the smooth tool to 4 or 5 clicks for this kind of work. Click until your satisfied with your amoothing. When youre al done, right click on all shapes from the inside out and optimize. I use a setting of 3 clicks for this. Now select both your pond shape and either one of your outer shapes, and lower by a couple of feet. When you do this the inner shape, your pond that is, will stay flat. delete the two outer shapes. Should work just fine. Good luck! |

| One last thing, when you say to select the pond and one of the outer shapes and lower by a couple of feet, which command are you refering to for lowering? Maybe Bunker? |

| It depends on the effect im after. You have to experiment a little. For a pond your regular elevation tool usually works fine. One more thing: If you add a 1 lip around your pond (select the shape and expand by using the properties box) and drop that by 1 it looks even better. This is what your shapes should look like. Good luck! |
