How to remove a waterway from the heightmap
This How-to contains the steps on how to create a set of Grid Overlays that calculate a leveled terrain height around waterways. The resulting Grid Overlay can be used to either directly adjust the terrain height of the Current Situation, or applied to the Future Design with a Measure using Grid Spatials
