Hi All,

I am a new course designer and never get to complete a course for some reason or another, I usually get some kind of error and have to start over. This last one I finally got 18 holes but the problem that seems to occur to often is that on some holes the terrain is missing.......u can c the vegetation but it in not sitting on any terrain, it is just sitting out in space or thin air, I cannot figure out why it does this and does anyone else c this problem and how can it b fixed. The course I designed has alot of elevation changes and sometimes I get to close to the edge of the map, does this effect this?....
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

May I recommend that you read this tutorial from Homeboy? http://www.coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=491

I suggest you read the entire tutorial but paragraph 20 is what will help you.

If you still need help let us know..

You say you get close to the edge of the map? That will lead to problems with a funky bowl texture showing up between the bottom of the pano and your terrain. On my first course I had to delete 3 holes that got too close to the edge. I then extended the plot boundary to the right and built 3 new holes to fix the problem. Try to give yourself 10% of the plot outside the perimeter. This area does not need to have much elevation detail or planting.

Nuttywoody is right in his answer to your part of the question that refers to having holes to close to the edge of the plot. If I may add, doing that will also show up on your overhead map as black/usually.

But for the first part of your question, where you say you have missing terrain Around holes, with only the trees showing up, but not on any terrain. I think you will find your answer in the referred to tutorial from Homeboy..
