Hello,

I would like to be able to pull up or push down on a flat surface to create terrain, like you would with a circle shaped curser in a world building or city building game like cities skyline or something like that. Is this possible?

Specifically I mean the “shift terrain” tool as shown in this video on YouTube.

Hi!

There are no sculpting tools like the ones in Cities:Skylines (\*), but there are some, albeit a bit more complicated methods that you could use to generate terrain. Check out this post and the links in it for a few pointers: [3D mountain range - #2 by ChocolateLover](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/3d-mountain-range/7051/2)

\*: Cities:Skylines is a game with which I wasted way more time that I’d dare to admit, so it’s a topic close to my heart :))
