Getting ready

How to do it...

First select the Follow Terrain button. Then open the Objects tab within the Rollup Bar. Now from the Brushes browser, select any object you wish to place down (for example, defaults/box).

You may either double-click the object, or drag-and-drop it onto the Perspective View. Move your mouse anywhere where there is visible terrain and then click once more to confirm the position you wish to place it in.

How it works...

The Follow Terrain tool is a simple tool that allows the pivot of the object to match the exact height of the terrain in that location. This is best seen on objects that have a pivot point close to or near the bottom of them.

There's more...

You can also follow terrain and snap to objects.This method is very similar to the Follow Terrain method, except that this also includes objects when placing or moving your selected object.
