Help: Elevations in DD3 Question
On the home page for DD3 is a sample map, third down on the right, showing elevations done in a contour fashion using elevation lines. There's a plateau with elevation lines descending from it. I can't find that map in a gallery nor can I find the symbol to do that kind of contour.
Can anyone instruct me, point out the location, on how to do this? It's a style I like for many maps, but so far it's escaped me.
Thanks!

- Draw your plateau (e.g. with one of the "Terrain, Grass*" drawing tools.
- With the straight "Terrain, Dirt Brown*" tools draw long, quasi-rectangular strips of slope down the side of the plateau. Use the Endpoint modifier (F5) to attach them to each other and to the plateau.
- If you want to emphasize the sloped area, outline the slope polygons in black or dark brown.
I've attached a quick example based on the standard DD3 template.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
