The Ramp tool enables you to select two locations on your Landscape and create a flat ramp between the two points, with a falloff you specify for the sides.

Using the Ramp Tool

  1. In the Landscape toolbar, in the Sculpt tab, select the Ramp tool.

  2. In the viewport, Left-click and drag or simply Left-click in two different places on your Landscape to mark the beginning and end points of the ramp.

    If you change your mind about adding a ramp after starting to set the beginning and end points, you can click Reset to clear them.

  3. Select either marker and adjust its position. In this case, it has been moved along the Z-axis above the Landscape surface.
