Good Afternoon all,

I am working on getting a shape to follow the counter lines that I’ve created. I want to be able to create 3D landscape. I’m struggling with conceptually how to get the drawn shape overlaid on the terrain contour already created.

I’m happy to do the legwork … just not sure what or how to even look up to learn on how to do this. I want the outline to “lay” on the already created contour.
