How to create a 2D grid and contour map using the Terrain generator plugin
Hi,
I am a newbie and have almost completed my first house design using SH3D. A BIG thank you to the developer(s) and contributors on this forum that enabled me to achieve this by reading your tips and advice.

I try not to post a question that someone else has already answered.

I would like to create a 2D plan showing a scale grid and contour map (no shading or texture) of a landscape design. This printed plan would enable a contractor to mark out the groundworks on the site.

The Terrain generator plugin seems ideal for designing the landscape, however I cannot find a method to display just the contour map overlayed on the scale grid without any colour or texture being applied. Please note I do not want to change the 3D view just the plan view.

Any ideas or work arounds would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
James
