Retaining walls and elevated lawns

[jamesnz]

Hi, Thanks for the fantastic software, brilliant. I have a question about the ground outside the house, we have a 2m elevation supported by a retaining wall. I want to emulate the grass and cobblestones on that raised level but how to achieve ? Should I be making it a room and colouring /texturing the top to emulate or is there another way.any help appreciated.

Adding a textured room in a new level at 2m elevation is a good solution. See this video at 0:58, if you want to learn how to draw one room around your home without covering it.
If the ground isn't level, you can also try the Terrain generator plug-in
