I would also use multiple terrains, but maybe only 3-4. There might be a way to draw a terrain profile from 2 axes and 'sweep' them over a Vue terrain to get close to what you want (using a mesh terrain), or maybe by shaping that Terrain Editor filter, then export them to a poly-modeling/subdivision-modeling program for detailed sculpting, then back into Vue (i've had good results using external modeling in SIlo 3D to extrude walls from a Vue terrain).

Other ideas:

  1. Use Chipp Walter's AltTerrain Builder to do profiles.

  2. Talk to the developer of the new GeoControl terrain generator - i'll bet he'd have some ideas:
