The Terrain Meshes and seam can be connected to the benchwork edge. Again, the connecting terrain will be dynamically updated.
First, two two-vertex Contour Lines are drawn to bridge the gap between the Contour Lines around each mesh. These were drawn using Draw / Contour Line, holding the Alt key down to snap the new vertices to the existing vertices. Both new Contour Lines were selected for this example, but need not be when you're working.
Using the Stitch technique shown earlier, connect all the contour lines around the outside of the Terrain Meshes and the seam. Its jagged U-shape is similar to the benchwork edge - the allows a nice connection.
Using Connect / Terrain in the usual manner, connect the benchwork edge contour with the mesh contour created above. Important: the benchwork edge contour must have a color selected. If it's black, the terrain will fade to black as it approaches the edge.
Swapping to 3D and pulling back to see more of the peninsula, we can see the connection has formed a very attractive terrain throughout the peninsula.
Here, the Terrain Editor is used to raise a hill in the front, and depress a culvert in the back.
End the terrain edit session by pressing Tab and the changes in the mesh - and its surrounding terrain sheet - can be clearly seen.
Once again in the 3D view, we can see the terrain has once again been automatically aligned to the previous edits. You now have unprecedented control over your terrain, and the ultimate in ease of use.
