I added Terrain under Add Object → Lines & Patterns. A wireframe grid draped over a height field.
How to use Terrain
- Open Studio → Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Terrain
- A live Terrain element is added to the active layer
- Tune parameters in the element card in the right sidebar (live preview on the canvas)
- Export plot-ready G-code when satisfied
Menu path: Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Terrain
Key controls

- Layered linework exported as G-code with pen-up travel
- Combined with other V3 objects and modifiers in the same document
Frequently asked questions
Where is Terrain in the menu?
Add Object → Lines & Patterns → Terrain
What can I adjust?
Start with the key controls above, then fine-tune everything else in the right sidebar inside Studio.
Is this non-destructive?
Objects live on layers as elements. You can edit parameters anytime; delete the element to remove it.
Does Terrain work with multi-pen plotting?
Yes. Use Pen Palette on a layer to split linework by color, or set per-path ink on modifiers like Offset.
