Hi, newbie here, and I am stuck. I need to add a few surfaces as toposurface, but I cannot seem to load any or create new ones from the default. I am therefore stuck as I cannot seam to get more than on surface type ie If I change the defaut to grass all my topo surfaces are grass. Where am I going wrong? is there somewhere to load surfaces from? Thanks in advance

From the site menu, you can split the face of the topo.... when you do that, you can assign a different surface for the split area's properties.

I'm a little unclear as to how you have built the surfaces. Did you create different toposurfaces, or did you make one surface with subregions. Typically yuo would want to create the whole topo, and then use subregions to divide it into the different surface types. You can then change the type property for each subregion to whatever material you need. You should be able to do this even if you created multiple topos because the material is a type property. This is different from the Site Settings menu from the dropdown toolbar. This controls what the cut material is, and is constant regardless of what material you apply to the topo from the properties menus. Check the tutorial, it's pretty clear on the steps you should follow.

In addition how do I get my topo surface to appear with a thickness in rendering, so it covers footings etc.
