That's it! Now, just generate the model and download it. (Pro Tip: Just make sure that the 'Base Height' is greater than the 'Water Drop' input.) A 5mm base with a 2mm drop looks very nice. If your map has a body of water in it, try increasing the 'Water Drop' value under the 'Water and Base Settings.' This will create a negative vertical offset that highlights the presence of water. If the area you selected is relatively flat, consider bumping up the 'Vertical Scaling' factor.ħ. Once you have the perfect area selected, you can also scale and rotate it.Ħ. Here you can adjust the size of the area you want to print and move the red box to that area on the terrain map.ĥ.

Unless you know the coordinates of the area you want to 3D print, I suggest moving from the 'Location' tab to the 'Model Details' tab.Ĥ. You will be met with several tool options: 'Location', 'Model Details', 'Water and Base Settings', and 'Instructions.'ģ. Terrain2STL is a wonderful tool to help you get a 3D model of the map you want to print.Ģ.
