<< how to model a sloping curved objects in 3D – Studio>> With a pencil & paper (like a caveman) draw sections of what the site might look like at points a,b,c (or for higher res d,e,f,g…). Place the dwg of multiple sections on your digitizer and trace them in. offset each object and create faces by latching to the points. -or- break out your Wavefront, make a flat mesh x-res x y-res and apply one of thier 30 or so deformations ( twist, taper, skew, x, y or z bend, etc…) oh yeah, these can be applied to the data or in keys over time. Translate your .obj file to .dxf and vvwaa-laa. (it may have cost you 20,000 more, but you saved 3 hours).
