just like to make suggestion for experienced designers to help new members designing courses

i am using smiling goats tutorials and homeboys to help me design a course, however i cant find anything on elevations .theres a couple from existing plot and you flatten ,
but not from a say a flat plot.

we need tutorials for the following.

starting a new course from a flat plot as smiling goats says, then creating your elevations from there.

fairways up hill and down hill with doglegs especially , multi level tees, fairways down hill and you can see the green with all the hole layout in front of you. ( awesome )

if you have elevations up or down how do you keep your tee and greens level from changing elevation as well, i have spend so many frustrating hours, trying to fix things up that i stuffed up, i nearly give up and rather go and play my guitars to relieve my frustrations
blues, folk and older rock stuff.

i played rlslays mauna kea 11 th hole , awesome design, i want to be able to do what he does for example, .

can some one help with this, spare some time and make some more tutorials, i know it takes alot of time, and this site is awesome for help and backup and theres alot of helpful people who generously spare there time to help everyone.


so this is a callout for help for me and new people trying to make some courses for everyone to play, if i had the time i would help as much as i could.


thanks for listening and hopefully someone can help

rob rlslay has said he can help me with a few things, and if anyone else can give some input and feedback, that would be awesome for all of us

thanks i feel better now

I can't make a tutorial but the two-shape method of elevation will keep the inner shape flat and elevate around it. Create two shapes, one completely inside the other. Highlight both shapes. Then elevate. The inner shape should still be flat and the outer shape will slope up or down until it gets to the inner shape.

Yes like Bobby said 2 shape method best way to elevate for example your tee areas and green areas and keep the original area as it were.What i sometimes do for hills and valleys is
make a 2 shape elevation or depression after that i inflate the outer shape by about 10 ft or more and then smooth the area for a more natural looking hiil or valley(the more u inflate shape the more effect the smoothing have).This is just my opinion all designers have different way of doing things I guess there is no exact wrong or right way of doing things.Btw I
think u did a great job on your 1st course for a newbie...
