I like to do a lot of dabbling in the surveyor (nothing DLS worthy) and since I live in a mountainous area, I would like to make a route with some good hills and mountains to wind its way through and work its way up some decent grades. I know how to make hills, adjust the sensitivity and radius, and use the plateau tool. I also know how to apply a gradient to track, adjust the height of one end of the spline, and so on. What I want to do is make the slope of a hill, or part of it, a particular angle so that the tack lays flat on it as it works up the hill.
For example, lets say my line is approaching a hill and I don't want to dig a tunnel and just work my way up the hill. If I lay the track on the hill as is, even curving around, the track becomes very uneven and, in some parts, becomes bumpy because that's just how the surveyor tools I know about work. Can I level it out so that I can have a consistent, say 2% grade around the hill and lay the track down on that so that it is a relatively smooth way up?
Did any of that make sense?
Thanks in advance!
