How do I tile a symetrical lattice that is say 5x5x5? I think thats what I mean, the boolean primitive yoiu create to edit and form rock structures. = )

Are you trying to create multiple copies of the object, one after another, in a row, or are you trying to make a series of objects of iregular shape that can be placed next to each other like a stone wall? Both can be probably best done by creating a picture of the planform of the object outside of bryce, using something like photoshop, photopaint or paint shop pro. make a lattice object, click on the E, and then hit the "picture" radio button On the "editiong tools" Menu. This will then let you import the picture. You can obtain the desired shape by setting the null area to black. Click on the square in the upper corner of the terrain canvas to make a slider visible on the right side. Move the bottom of the slider up to remove the black areas from the shape of the lattice. I hope I understood your question, and I hope this helps!

I think you might be talking about tiling terrains! You can do this using the TILE NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST buttons in the drop-down list in the terrain editor. This allows you to create terrains which glue perfectly together at the edges... a continuation of the same fractal. This is too complex for me to explain without Bryce in front of me, so I suggest you look for a tutorial called "Tiling Terrains" or "Tiled Terrains" which clearly explains how to use this function... Good luck!

hogwardenwork, I've tired the Tile North, S, E and W with B3, but i ca'nt find that function. Would you reply with a screenshot of where this command is located? Thanks Ahead of Time!, Cain Brogan = )

I don't believe B3 had the fractal terrains B4 has.

B4 has...Would we need B5? }= )
