hi guys ..

what I did is I just drew a big rectangular shape over the whole terrain, then wrote a rule that splits x*z* into squares. I then converted the squares model to a shapes, divided it up into separate shapes for each square and projected those square shapes down onto the terrain. I had to repeat this a couple of times until I was happy with the square size.
